Petroleum refining processes are the chemical engineering processes and other facilities used in petroleum refineries (also referred to as oil refineries) to transform crude oil into useful products such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), gasoline or petrol, kerosene, jet fuel, diesel oil …

Crude oil distillation is a complex and capital-intensive process in petroleum refining. The crude oil distillation unit comprises distillation columns, pump-around loops, sidestrippers and a heat recovery system, known as the preheat train.

2012年7月5日 · Crude oil is made up of a mixture of hydrocarbons, and the distillation process aims to separate this crude oil into broad categories of its component hydrocarbons, or "fractions." Crude oil is first heated and then put into a distillation column, also known as a still, where different products boil off and are recovered at different temperatures.

Crude distillation is the first step in processing crude oil into its different end products, including gasoline, kerosene, diesel, jet fuel, asphalt, and more. Crude stills are the oldest means for processing oil. The purpose of crude distillation is to recover the light materials from the oil.

From gasoline to diesel and beyond, crude oil distillation transforms the raw material into a range of products that fuel various aspects of daily life. The efficiency of fractional distillation rests on its design—a towering column filled with trays or plates that …

2025年2月1日 · Distillation is used to separate liquids from nonvolatile solids, as in the separation of alcoholic liquors from fermented materials, or in the separation of two or more liquids having different boiling points, as in the separation of gasoline, kerosene, and lubricating oil …

Atmospheric and vacuum distillation of crude oils are the main primary separation processes producing various straight run products, e.g., gasoline to lube oils/vacuum gas oils. Distillation of crude oil is typically performed first [1] under atmospheric pressure and then under a vacuum.

2023年2月20日 · In oil refining units, distillation separates the crude oil into different products according to their individual boiling ranges. Petroleum distillation is the process by which crude derivatives are obtained by increasing the temperature …

2021年3月25日 · Distillation involves the separation of materials based on differences in their volatility. This is the first and most basic step in the refining process, and is the precursor to cracking and reforming. Cracking involves breaking up heavy molecules into lighter (and more valuable) hydrocarbons.
