Oil refinery

[monster3d2015]

When I try to have more than one oil refinery on one input line shared by one pump the oil flow can not keep up when there is more than one refinery operating at once.

Is there a way to arrange the oil input pipes to make it so that more than one refinery can run off a single liquid pump without the flow not being able to keep up with production and having the process of producing petroleum interrupted when the dupe leaves and moves to the next one while the oil in the machine catches back up?

Not sure what you mean here. The question doesn't seem clear to me. However if you want to know wether one liquid pump can support the full production of more than one oil refinery: No. A liquid pump moves 10kg/s of liquid and an oil refinery takes 10kg/s of oil as an input.

This should be all in the tooltips and when you're unsure check the wiki.

If your dupes are running off, it's a problem of clogged output, not input.  You probably want to make a petroleum reservoir

 

Edit: Ah, thought a refinery was 5 kg/s, nvm.  This also can be a problem, though.

You can't run 2 refineries on 1 line but you shouldn't really be running 2 refineries anyway. It's very unlikely you have enough oil production to keep up with that much refining. Your only source of oil should be oil wells which max at 12kg/sec if you get 4 on a seed and for that to work you need to burn a lot of water into your wells. Slicksters should really be all molten ASAP so that step in the carbon cycle bypasses refineries and does so with better efficiency.

Sorry my reply is really off topic. Ignore it if it's not relevant to you.
