What is Vaccum Distillation?
Vaccum Distillation Written By: Souad LOUSDAD The next step in the process of crude oil separation is the vacuum distillation of the atmospheric residue that was drawn off from the bottom of the atmospheric column. Let’s start with some simple questions: Why is it called vacuum fractioning? What is the main advantage of it? And […]
what is Atmospheric Distillation?
Atmospheric Distillation Written By: Souad LOUSDAD We have already mentioned « Atmospheric Distillation” in the previous article An Introduction to Crude Oil Refining we said that it ranges with the “Separation Processes” as the first process the crude oil goes through. Before we dive in the details, let’s start with simple questions to clarify the global […]
An introduction to Crude Oil Refining
What is Crude Oil Refining? Written By: Souad LOUSDAD Do you ever stop on the highway to get gas and ask yourself where does it come from? Or buy a plastic cup of coffee and wonder how did it end up this way? Well, the gas does not come up from the ground this way […]
Oil Refinery Processes
Process Objective: To distill and separate valuable distillates (naphtha, kerosene,diesel) and atmospheric gas oil (AGO) from the crude feedstock. Primary Process Technique: Complex distillation Process steps: –Preheat the crude oil feed utilizing recovered heat from the product streams –Desalt and dehydrate the crude using electrostatic enhanced liquid/liquid separation (Desalter) –Heat the crude to the […]
