An expert system design for a crude oil distillation column
The function of a refinery is to separate the crude oil into many kinds of petroleum products (Kary & Leif, 1993). In this project, the input variables of process are
New tech could provide cheaper, less-polluting way to refine
Crude oil is a mixture of tens of thousands of chemicals. The first step in petroleum refining is separating that mix through a distillation process. The raw crude oil is heated up to about 500 C. Lighter components, such as those that make up gasoline, vaporize at lower temperatures and are captured.
Optimization of Distribution Control System in Oil Refinery
In this research, prediction of crude oil cuts from the first stage of refining process field is laid out using rough set theory (RST) based adaptive neuro-fuzzy
Optimization-based design of crude oil distillation units
Introduction. Distillation is the most widely used separation technique in the chemical and petroleum industries. Petroleum refining starts with crude oil distillation, in which the entire crude oil feedstock undergoes initial separation to produce intermediate products, such as light naphtha, heavy naphtha, light distillate, heavy distillate, and atmospheric residue (see Fig. 1).
Crude Oil Distillation an overview ScienceDirect Topics
Crude oil distillation is an energy-intensive operation, especially with respect to fired heating. The atmospheric and vacuum distillation units all together consume 35–45 %
Refinery - GEA
Refinery. A larger fraction of crude oil after the atmospheric distillation is driven into the vacuum distillation unit which is one of the most productive and critical equipment in the refinery. The vacuum in the distillation column is kept by a multi stage steam ejector unit which includes:

beston waste oil distillation plant can be used for recycling different kinds of waste oil, such as crude oil, plastic oil, tyre oil, used engineoil, etc. and they will be converted to
Oil refinery
An oil refinery or petroleum refinery is an industrial process plant where petroleum (crude oil) is transformed and refined into useful products such as gasoline (petrol), diesel fuel, asphalt base, fuel oils, heating oil, kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas and petroleum naphtha.

Distillation in Refining ScienceDirect
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
Petroleum refining processes
The crude oil distillation unit (CDU) is the first processing unit in virtually all petroleum refineries. The CDU distills the incoming crude oil into various fractions of different boiling ranges, each of which are then processed further in the other refinery processing units.
