Introduction: In this lab we used Crude Oil and by definition is a unrefined petroleum oil by heat in different components and this is the first stage in refining. 6 Feb 2007 Methods of separating components of a mixture, such as crude oil, are disclosed which increase the yield of individual components while  The various components of crude oil have different sizes, weights and boiling temperatures; so, the first step is to separate these components. Because they have different boiling temperatures, they can be separated easily by a process called fractional distillation. Figure 16.1 illustrates a schematic diagram of the crude oil distillation system considered here. The system consists of two crude oil distillation units: (1) the atmospheric distillation unit (ADU) and (2) the vacuum distillation unit (VDU), two crude oil furnaces, and a heat exchanger network (HEN).

The boiling range covers a temperature interval from the initial boiling point (IBP), defined as the temperature at which the first drop of distillation product is obtained, to a final boiling point, or endpoint (EP) when the highest-boiling compounds evaporate. The boiling range for crude oil may exceed 1000 °F. The process of fractional distillation is used to separate crude oil into its main components (ie. its relevant carbon chain length). The cracking of the large hydrocarbons, thermally or catalytically, breaks them into smaller hydrocarbons. Ethylene is produced in this way.

Overview of Crude Units Crude units are the first units that process petroleum in any refinery. There objective is to separate the mixture into several fractions like naphtha, kerosene, diesel and gas oil.

Crude oil contains many different types of organic compounds, also known as petroleum products. During the refining process, the components of crude oil are separated. The main method used for separation is distillation, but some other methods are also used. Crude oil contains many different types of organic compounds, also known as petroleum products.
