What is distillation in crude oil refining?

Scale of the operation Distillation is the main separation process in crude oil refining. Depending on the size and complexity of the refinery, typically there could be 30 or more large distillation columns ranging from 2 to 14 m diameter.

How many distillation columns are in a crude oil refinery?

Distillation is the main separation process in crude oil refining. Depending on the size and complexity of the refinery, typically there could be 30 or more large distillation columns ranging from 2 to 14 m diameter. Figure 4.1 shows that the refinery landscape is dominated by many distillation columns. FIGURE 4.1.

What is the purpose of crude distillation?

The purpose of crude distillation is to recover the light materials from the oil. This process begins with a fractional distillation column, which separates the various components of the crude oil by their size, weight, and boiling point. The crude oil mixture is heated using high pressure steam.

What is a crude oil distillation complex?

A crude oil distillation complex includes three major operations: desalting, atmospheric distillation, and vacuum distillation As mentioned, when a crude oil emerges from underground, it is mixed with a variety of contaminants. These must be removed before the crude oil can be transported and refined. Some cleanup takes place in oil fields.
