POS Refining
From EVE University Wiki
- Main article: Player-owned starbases
A POS Refinery Array will only handle a single ore at a time, so it is best to create batches of ores and only run complete batches.
| Refinery Type | Max Volume | Cycle Time | Yield | Tower |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Refinery | 40,000 m3 | 60 minutes | 35% | Small |
| Medium Intensive Refinery | 20,000 m3 | 90 minutes | 75% | Medium |
| Intensive Refinery | 200,000 m3 | 180 minutes | 75% | Large |
The Intensive Refinery is best for serious miners, but the powergrid and CPU use requires that you have a Large POS Tower to support it. The regular Refinery should be avoided as 65% of the value of the ore is lost by using it.
Refinery Input
This is a list of the various ores and details of their volume and how many units will fit into a Intensive Refining Array.

| Pyroxeres | 0.3 | 666,666 |
| Plagioclase | 0.35 | 571,428 |
| Omber | 0.6 | 333,333 |

Refinery Output
This is a break down of the output from refining a single batch (This assumes efficiency is capped out at 75%)
 Note:
|
This image needs to be updated. For example, Arkonor ore refines to Tritanium, Mexallon, and Megacyte. It no longer produces Zydrine. |
