How do i cool my very first petroleum?

[Lizziepeia]

There was a oil well thingy near the bottom of my base in the second planetoid. I decided to dig out the area and let the existing crude oil fall to the bottom of the naturally occuring abyssalite bowl. It turns out that the temperature in the area was kind of hot and the crude oil cooked into petroleum. The petroleum is around 350 degree C. I've piped over a small pool of negative temperature polluted water from the first planetoid intending to cool the petroleum with it.

I built a gold amalgam pump in the petroleum and it got damaged. Then i built a steel pump instead, that got damaged too. I did notice that i made some granite temperature shift plate behind the pump. Is that what's damaging my pump? Is there a way for me to pump the petroleum? Or should i pour my polluted water into the petroleum? Or is the petroleum simply not recoverable?

>The petroleum is around 350 degree C

it was mistake to dig so far, petroleum should be in a range of 80-150.

You can build steam generator on the top of that oil, throw water there and after couple cycles (or couple decades, depends from amount of oil) it will be 125.

Or you can heat it even more, get sulfur gas, then cool it and get natural gas. But you need know how to do that.

Several ways, depending on the quantity of petroleum:

First, if it's a little, several tiles or so. Find a cold biome, get some polluted water or other coolant, pipe it through cold region first, then pipe it through the petroleum, or tiles around. Repeat the process. Use liquid reservoir, so you don't need the coolant pumped again.

2} Slow method, but cheap. Wheezewort. Takes a long time. Wheezewort deletes 5W(5000DTU) of heat in oxygen atmosphere, or 12W in hydrogen atmosphere.

3) Look up on steam generators, as degr suggested. Either one purpose cooling generator as degr suggested, or some more piping and automatization to create universal cooling system(VERY useful). Be aware that steam generator outputs 10% of deleted heat, so when there is more mass that you need to cool, you'll need to cool the generator as well.

You could add more oil from an oil well until the temperature averages out to something lower.

Sometimes the abyssalite in contact with the larva gets hot and some of the blocks in the oil biome can transfer temperature until they reach ~ 114C, when they stop transfer. Basically you could enclose those area and add some cold materials until pumps works properly or make a system to drain the heat.

You could use pitcher pumps so that they can be moved to a more convenient location for cooling.

If you just want a quick and dirty solution & you have some ice available, I recommend building some tempshift plates out of Ice to cool it down. If you don't have ice, you can move it into a cooler section of the map using the pitcher pump and let it's heat move into the rocks of that area. 

 

A more permanent solution would be to set up a cooling loop using a steam turbines to actually delete the heat.
