About this document
Crude Oil Composition and Refining Process by damochka is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons including paraffins, aromatics, and naphthenes. It forms from decaying organic matter and is found in reservoirs that were once sea beds. Refining crude oil uses fractional distillation to separate it into fractions with different boiling points, producing useful products like gasoline, diesel, and lubricating oils. Distillation heats the crude oil so its components vaporize and condense at different heights in a distillation column based on their boiling point
