Following installation of a new air-cooled condenser as part of its crude distillation unit's preflash tower overhead, a US Midwestern refinery began producing off-spec light naphtha that led to ...

Currently the typical way that crude oil is processed involves a fractional distillation column, in which heated crude oil is separated into the various hydrocarbon compounds using distinct boiling ...

A study has shown that steamflooding distillation effects would improve crude recovery from thin reservoirs with less viscous crude. Steam distillation means that steam injection will cause some ...

Distillation remains a backbone technology in the chemical process industry despite its historically high energy consumption. In recent years, research has focused on improving the thermal efficiency ...
