Catalytic distillation is a branch of reactive distillation which combines the processes of distillation and catalysis to selectively separate mixtures...

Distillation, also classical distillation, is the process of separating the component substances of a liquid mixture of two or more chemically discrete...

distillation of crude oils are referred to as "straight-run" naphthas. It is the straight-run heavy naphtha that is usually processed in a catalytic reformer...

Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is the conversion process used in petroleum refineries to convert the high-boiling point, high-molecular weight hydrocarbon...

Continuous distillation, a form of distillation, is an ongoing separation in which a mixture is continuously (without interruption) fed into the process...

catalysts and solvents, such as in processes of destructive distillation or pyrolysis. Fluid catalytic cracking produces a high yield of petrol and LPG, while...

atmospheric distillation. A crude distillation unit (CDU) consists of the pre-flash distillation column. The petroleum products obtained from the distillation process...

distillation. Uses hydrogen to desulfurize the naphtha fraction from the crude oil distillation or other units within the refinery. Fluid catalytic cracker...

major units: one atmospheric distillation unit, one vacuum distillation unit, one fluid catalytic cracking unit, two catalytic reforming units, one alkylation...

units: If an oil refinery has a crude distillation unit (100 kbd), vacuum distillation unit (60 kbd), and catalytic reforming unit (30 kbd), then the NCI...
