Explanation:
It wouldn' be my choice of words (in Dutch), but I reckon they mean 'output'. At least that is what I deduct based on the following:

Doorzet Nederlandse raffinaderijen
Met de verwerking van 63,4 miljoen ton ruwe aardolie en aardgascondensaat (63,6 miljoen ton in 1996) blijft de doorzet van de Nederlandse raffinaderijen en de bijbehorende benuttingsgraad van de normale capaciteit (107%) zeer hoog.

Thanks Siobhan and everyone else too. The input led to output being used. It fit in best with the docs I had. For the verb, which appeared once only (thankfully), I sneaked in 'put through'.

Some examples:

\"XXX ranks as the sixth-largest petroleum refiner in YYY and is a consistent leader in the downstream industry in several performance measures including refinery yields, operating efficiencies, and adjusted operating-income per barrel of crude oil throughput.\"

\"The second part of the analysis looks at the impact of the Venezuelan production loss on crude markets in general, with particular emphasis on crude oil imports, refinery crude oil throughput levels, stock levels, and the changes in price differences between light and heavy crude oils.\"
