[Narrator]
The way in which we process our oil goes as follows... We start with distillation. The molecules in crude oil are split up into different components, based on different boiling points. This happens in a distillation tower. We heat the crude oil to a temperature of about 350 degrees Centigrade, which causes the lightest molecules or fractions to evaporate. This vapour then rises in the tower. The higher up in the tower, the lower the temperature. Thus, condensation will ensue causing the gaseous molecules to turn back into fluids at different heights.

[Animated sequence]
Animated graphic, picturing a distillation tower with a pipe entering from frame left, crude oil – indicated by black shading – entering the distillation tower, the level of black shading in the distillation tower slowly rising. At various levels of the tower, lines extend from the tower towards frame-right, with text descriptions. The graphic zooms to the base of the tower, where a temperature gauge graphic within the tower indicates rising temperature, using red shading. Further red shading slowly travels up the tower above the black shading. Successive levels of shading appear in orange, dark green, light green, dark blue, light blue, then white, as the graphic zooms out again, and the white shading continues through the pipe which extends out of the top of the tower.
[Video footage]
Bird’s eye view of an industrial plant complex, including the oil storage tanks, one emblazoned with a Shell pecten; traffic moves along highways in the foreground. Panoramic shot of industrial plant facilities, seen across a body of water, some foliage visible in the foreground.
[Narrator]
Moreover, we can turn almost all crude oil into lighter products. To this end, we use not only distillation but also cracking processes. Through heat and catalysts, we crack the molecular chains, as it were, in order to produce smaller and lighter components. These products can then be used for petrol, kerosene or diesel. Our aim is to keep reducing safety hazards.
[Animated sequence]
Animated molecular structure zooms in, rotating against a blue background while lines form to connect all of the molecules as it fills the frame. Then, the overall structure breaks into smaller molecular structures which rotate away from one another. Superimposed on this graphic, three orange barrel graphics appear alongside each other across centre-frame, text indicating the content of each barrel.

SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
[Video footage]
Panoramic time lapse footage, as seen across the water, of an industrial plant complex, the tall chimney and other structures reaching up into a blue sky filled with scudding clouds.
[Narrator]
We do this with careful designing and robust construction, through regular maintenance and with a high training level of our employees.
[Video footage]
Miscellaneous footage of workers in various areas of the plant complex, inspecting or working on various pieces of infrastructure or equipment.
[Narrator]
This way, Shell can warrant the safety and health of everyone to a maximum, at and around the site.

Mid-view footage, in profile, of a woman donning her safety helmet, plant infrastructure in the background. The woman mounts her bicycle and rides out of shot.
[Narrator]
We also take future-oriented steps to be more environmentally-friendly.
[Video footage]

[Narrator]
For instance, think of the greatly reduced use of natural gas, made possible because we send large amounts of CO2 to the Westland.
[Video footage]
Bird’s eye view of an industrial plant complex seen across a body of water, the tall structures of the complex reaching up into a blue sky. Footage of a line of greenhouses, a canal and grassy banks running alongside. Panning bird’s eye footage of the greenhouses.
[Narrator]
Another example is our residual heat project. From 2018 onwards, we supply enough residual heat to the city of Rotterdam to provide thousands of houses with hot water and heating.
[Animated sequence]
Animated graphic of plant infrastructure, shaded in orange, a dotted red line moving between buildings indicating heat, and as it moves through a tank shaded in blue, the dotted line becomes a yellow line. The graphic zooms out to show a second plant at frame-right, shaded in blue. Above the second plant, a red temperature gauge appears in the blue sky, the rising red line indicating rising temperature. This cuts to a graphic of a house, the blue-shaded plant now in the background, with a yellow line running below ground and up into the house. The front wall of the house is removed, showing the residual heat being piped into the home to meet heating needs.
[Narrator]
Our new SDA plant also plays its role, as it’s going to remove asphalt from fuel oil components.
[Video footage]
Miscellaneous footage, switching back and forth between panning bird’s eye footage of an industrial plant complex, and panning footage of the model of the Solvent Deasphalter unit (SDA) for Pernis. Landscape footage of a grassy area with trees where people are seated on chairs and park benches, looking out over a body of water; in the background, industrial plant infrastructure reaches up into the blue sky.
[Narrator]
Thus, from the same amount of crude oil, more valuable and cleaner products can be obtained.

[Narrator]
In 1998, we established the Community Council to discuss issues in a structured way, to create understanding for each other’s situation. Of course, we also think of the future. That’s why we also have our own Children’s Council. This enables us to offer a programme to local young people in the fields of technology, safety and the future of energy.
VISION FOR THE FUTURE

[Narrator]
The demand for petrol and diesel for passenger traffic will decline, but there will be a continuous demand for fossil fuels for heavy transportation. In the past, we have always moved with the times, and we’ll continue to do so.
So we think that Pernis has a bright future ahead of it.
