Design and Construction of Atmospheric Distillation Column by INVEXOIL
Distillation under atmospheric pressure is a crucial test method to characterize these refined products. It delivers important information about the tested sample in order to e.g. maximize the yield of different petroleum products obtained from crude oil, based on their boiling range characteristics.
Features of Invexoil’s Atmospheric Distillation
Atmospheric distillation is a technique used to separate components in crude oil that is performed under atmospheric pressure.
- Pressure: Atmospheric distillation uses pressure nearly similar to the atmospheric pressure (around 1.2-1.5 atm).
- Theory: Atmospheric distillation is used to separate low boiling fraction of the mixture.
- Fractionation: Atmospheric distillation separates the light fractions of the mixture.
- Degradation of the Key Components: The atmospheric distillation does not concern about the degradation of the component.
Process description of Atmospheric Distillation (ADU)
Atmospheric Distillation is generally the first process and also has the largest capacity in a refinery complex. Different fractions are produced depending on the difference in their boiling temperature and are further processed in the downstream plants for desired products. In this process, pre-heated crude oil (heated to about 250-260°C) is further heated to a temperature of around 350°C. This heated crude oil is then passed into a distillation column in which the pressure at the top is maintained around 1.2-1.5 atm (nearly the atmospheric pressure).
Feed to the atmospheric distillation column is desalted and pre-heated. The components separated by this distillation method are hydrocarbons such as fuel gases, naphtha, kerosene, diesel, and fuel oil. The residue left at the bottom of the atmospheric distillation column is known as the heavy hydrocarbon fraction. This fraction is sent to the vacuum distillation.
