OVERVIEW

Duration: 3 hours

Crude oil is made up of a variety of hydrocarbons. In its raw form, however, crude oil is of very little value. To make useful products, the oil must be separated into "cuts," or fractions, that contain similar types of hydrocarbons. This is accomplished by a process called distillation, or fractionation. Distillation uses heat to separate a mixture of hydrocarbons according to their respective boiling points. Crude Distillation is a series of learning programs covering the principles of distillation. This program, Distillation: Overview, begins by explaining the nature of oil, how it is made up and what happens to its structure when it is cracked or reformed. Next, it discusses the different properties of oil, giving special attention to the properties often referred to or measured in the refining process. The program also explains sensible heat, latent heat, vapor pressure, and partial pressure. These lessons form a review of the basic principles of the distillation process, and are presented as background for future programs in the series that explain the actual practical operation of distillation units. The final section of this program is about the process of distillation and how it works. This unit is designed to logically develop the knowledge of the distillation process from the elementary shell still through to the mechanisms of reflux, reboiling, and sidestream drawing of the sophisticated fractionator. An important lesson describes the temperature profile of the tower in distillation, showing the nature of the flow of liquid and vapors in the tower and the reasons for the flow. The final lesson is a review and summary of the entire distillation process.


 

PROCESS EQUIPMENT

Duration: 3 hours

This program will provide you with general knowledge of how a distillation column is designed and how the distillation process works. It provides a fundamental knowledge of fractionating equipment, including the tower, temperature and pressure, bubble cap tray and other tray types, packed towers, and auxiliary equipment. Finally, you will be introduced to special distillation applications. The distillation columns and related equipment shown in this program may not be the same as the columns and equipment used in your plant. However, the principles and practices presented in this program are applicable to any normal distillation process.


 

OPERATING PROCEDURES

Duration: 3 hours

This program provides a fundamental knowledge of tower instrumentation and procedures for monitoring tower operations. You will also learn about standard operating practices for shutdown, cleaning, testing, and start-up. Finally, you will practice your skills in different situations. To appreciate the precautions taken during normal operations, shutdown, and turnaround, the program provides a working knowledge of foreign deposits and liquid traps, explosive mixtures, and unnecessarily rapid changes. A thorough knowledge of these factors and a deep appreciation of the trouble they can cause will permit you to wisely adapt your actions to situations you will experience, especially as they affect the various stages of shutdown and turnaround.


 

PROCESS VARIABLES

Duration: 5 hours

In any refinery, petrochemical or chemical plant, distillation columns dominate the skyline. While there are many different types of columns and an even larger variety of feeds, the principles that make distillation work are the same in every application. The physical law behind distillation is that heat can be used to separate a mixture of hydrocarbons by their respective boiling points or boiling point ranges. In a distillation column, there must be a balance of heat and material into and out of the tower. These heat and material balance concepts are the same for every column and can be used to predict how a tower will react to any operating change. The concepts of sensible and latent heat, partial pressure, and vapor pressure explain how and why hydrocarbons react as they do during the separation process.In Process Variables, you will learn about the major concepts that are common to all distillation processes, identify how the interaction of process variables can affect product quality, identify factors like reflux and pressure that affect distillation, and describe operational principles that can be utilized to conserve energy and improve quality.


 

CONSEQUENCES OF DEVIATION

The program also discusses the effects of these abnormalities on products, and on temperature, pressure, and flow rates. Consequences of Deviation also outlines the procedures for discovering what is happening in the tower, which corrections are most likely to re-establish normal operation, and how to judge the effects of adjustments. Finally, the program provides practice in solving abnormal operating problems. Using the knowledge from this and the previous programs in this series, you will be able to meet the challenge of abnormal operation and restore the tower to efficient and economical fractionation.
