PRESENTER: For crude oil to be used effectively by modern industry, it has to be separated into its component parts and have impurities like sulfur removed. The most common method of refining crude is the process of fractional distillation. This involves heating crude oil to about 350 degrees Celsius, to turn it into a mixture of gases.

Economics. Oil refineries use fluid catalytic cracking to correct the imbalance between the market demand for gasoline and the excess of heavy, high boiling range products resulting from the distillation of crude oil.. As of 2006, FCC units were in operation at 400 petroleum refineries worldwide and about one-third of the crude oil refined in those refineries is processed in an FCC to produce

The next level of complexity adds cat cracking and some additional hydrotreating. The most complex refineries add coking, more hydrotreating and hydrocracking. Refining separates crude oil into components used for a variety of purposes, from high-performance fuels to plastics. The Facts About Crude Oil. The refining process begins with crude oil.

Crude oil is composed of hundreds of different hydrocarbon molecules, which are separated through the process of refining. The process is divided into three basic steps: separation, conversion, and treatment. Separation. Separation refers to the process of distillation. Crude oil is heated in a furnace so that hydrocarbons can be separated via

2.03.2019· The need for heavy oil processing has increased in recent years worldwide, backed by higher demands for petroleum products in the face of declining light crude oil resources. The situation encourages refineries to focus more on maximizing the production of high-value outputs from this lower-value heavier feedstock. This study purports to assess heavy oil processing potential in the refining

7.02.2003· The Process: "First the crude oil is heated to temperatures up to 371 degrees celsius in large furnaces. This process is called fractionation. Lighter components, such as gasoline, vaporize first and rise to the top. Heavier components, such as diesel fuel, collect on trays lower down the tower and are drawn off there.

Simultaneously, similar heavy crudes are being produced in Venezuela, the Middle East and elsewhere. The flexibility to process heavy crude can provide a significant competitive advantage by reducing feedstock costs. The ability to process heavier crudes has been a refining trend since the earliest facilities were built.
