Historie českých rafinérií

Abstract

This bachelor's thesis focuses on development of the refining industry in the Czech Republic. The thesis describes the history of refineries, which I have divided into several sections according to chronology. I describe their development of refineries in the Czech Republic since the end of the 20th century, when in Czech lands were built the first refineries in Záboří nad Labem and in Nový Bohumín to the present the largest refineries as Česká rafinérská, a. s. in Litvinov and Paramo, a. s. in Pardubice. Information about the history of the refineries are obtained of a large number of local archives, by historians, researchers and management of current refineries. I also tried to visite most of the places personally. Thanks to this thesis contains a large number of rare archival and present photographs.
