Oil Refining Process and Product Specifications

This document summarizes the oil refining process to produce five products - naphtha, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oil, and residue - from a pre-heated crude oil feedstock. The crude oil is fractionated in a distillation tower with 29 trays and a partial condenser. Various steam streams are injected to separate the products. The feed conditions, product specifications, assay data, estimated operating parameters, and product requirements are provided.

Oil refi ning example.

A pre-heated crude needs to be fractionate to produce the following


product:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Naphtha: produced from top 3-phase condenser.


Kerosene: produced from reboiler side stripper.
Diesel fuel: produced from steam side stripper.
Gas oil: produced from steam side stripper.
Residue: produced from the bottom.

The feed conditions

are :
Temp. = 450 of
Press. = 5.171 bar
Liq. Vol. flow rate = 100,000 bbl/day

The oil will be heated in the furnace to 650 o f, and then feed to the towe
r that
have (29 tray + partial condenser).
The feed enter the tower at stage 28, and a steam stream enters at the
bottom.
