Refining Process.

Refining is the manufacture of petroleum products from crude

oil. Refining involves two major branches; separation processes

and conversion processes.

Crude Oil

Petroleum products are made

from Crude Oil. There are

many types of crude oil which

come from many different

sources around the world.

Disillaion

The first stage of crude processing is known as distillation or

fractionation and occurs in a column known as a !istillation

Column.

"n this process the crude oil which is a mi#ture of many types

of hydrocarbons is boiled and recondensed to separate the

crude oil into components based on ranges of boiling points.

This process will consume hydrogen to assist in the sulphur

removal. The sulphur removed from this process is converted

into pure li$uid sulphur.

#lending

The final stage of the refining process is called blending. This is

a crucial step where the various hydrocarbon components

manufactured in the refinery are mi#ed together to make the

final products sold by the refinery.
