What is the working of vaccum distilation coloumn in a petroleum refinary?..

Answer / anand

actually above 350-375 oC temp. the crude oil is going to
crack and the light product will form. but the main aim of
this distillation process is to seperate the various
fractions rather than producing the light product. so to
avoid this the residue of the atmospheric distillation
tower is processed under vacuum above 350 oC and we get the
various types of product which will be useful for making
various types of lubricating oil, mineral oil, transformer
oil, quenching oil etc.

Answer / sourya

All the fractions that can be separated by the distillation
process under atmospheric conditions is separated in the ADU
and the higher molecular weight fractions that crack under
those conditions to produce carbon(petroleum coke) is
removed as the bottoms and then passed on to the next Vacuum
Distillation unit(VDU) for recovery of all the higher fractions.

Answer / dhanashree

The main aim of distillation is to obtained various
petroleum product at various temp. & press. for that
recovery ,distillation system require rage of temp. As
petrolium products are heighly explosive, catches fire at
low temp.Vaccum distillation is used in petroleum refinery.
Becouse under vaccum the boiling point of liquid get lowers
down & pressure required is also less.

A distillation column separates 10000 kg / hr of a mixture containing equal mass of benzene and toluene. The product D recovered from the condenser at the top of the column contains 95 % benzene, and the bottom W from the column contains 96 % toluene. The vapor V entering the condenser from the top of the column is 8000 kg / hr. A portion of the product from the condenser is returned to the column as reflux R, and the rest is withdrawn as the final product D. Assume that V, R, and D are identical in composition since V is condensed completely. Find the ratio of the amount refluxed R to the product withdrawn D. Hint : Solve the simultaneous equations as follow in order to find the answer (R / D) : 10000 = D + W; 10000 (0.5) = D (0.95) + W (0.04); 8000 = R + D.
