What does distillation of crude oil produce?

Crude oil distillation is a chemical process and other facilities used by oil refineries (also known as oil refineries) that convert crude oil into useful products that typically yield 80-85% diesel and 15-20% asphalt.

Distillation of crude oil is the process of converting crude oil into a useful product. Crude oil consists of hundreds of different hydrocarbon molecules and is separated by a refining process. The process is divided into three basic steps: separation, conversion and processing.

Separation
Separation refers to the distillation process. Crude oil is heated in the furnace so that hydrocarbons can be separated by their boiling point. In the reactor, the heated petroleum vapor is divided into parts according to weight and boiling point. The lightest fraction, including gasoline, rises to the top of the tower before it condenses back into liquid. The heaviest parts will settle at the bottom because they will coagulate in advance.

Convert
Conversion is simply the process of converting a hydrocarbon species to another hydrocarbon. Among them, the required product is gasoline. Cracking is the process of converting a heavier, less valuable crude oil fraction into a lighter product. Cracking uses heat and pressure to break down heavier elements into lighter elements. Alkylation is another common process that is essentially the opposite of cracking. During alkylation, small gaseous byproducts combine to form larger hydrocarbons.

Deal with
Processing is the final process of refining, including the combination of processed products to create various octane ratings, vapor pressure performance, and the special properties of products used in extreme environments. A common example of treatment is the removal of sulfur from diesel fuel, which is necessary to meet the clean air guidelines. Strong processing technology is the most time-consuming refining step.

Through this process, 80-85% of diesel fuel and 15-20% of asphalt can be obtained. Their specific uses in life are as follows:

Diesel oil application

 
2. Asphalt: Mainly used for direct paving, or sent to asphalt refineries.
