This video is a bit like listening to a textbook in audiobook format. Concise. Precise. Plenty of jargon. It was an interesting review of my old organic chemistry lab techniques, but with some different engineering for an industrial process. This is the process that made John D. Rockefeller and incredibly rich man. Very informative!
The distillation tower knows its temperature at all times. It knows this because it knows what its temperature is not. By subtracting how hot it is from how hot it isn't, or how hot it isn't from how hot it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference, or deviation. The tower uses the temperature to separate the feed, or "charge" and the components into which it is separated are called cuts or fractions.
I operated and worked on distilling units, or evaporators, on Navy ships and the process is similar to this one. We had 2-stage flash type distilling units, making about 10,000 gallons of fresh water from sea water every 24 hours.
Distillation is one of the most difficult concepts to grasp even for engineers. This video does a good job of explaining the process. The key missing point is that trays are discrete units each having its own discrete temperature and pressure. An ideal tray has the fluid leaving the tray in thermodynamic equilibrium with the vapor leaving the tray. The temperature profile is essential to create the concentration differences between the top and bottom of the column. To a lesser degree differential pressure affects thermodynamic equilibrium. A major error is the description of reflux and reboiler. These are not optional components of a distillation. There is not a distillation column in the world that does not have boilup or reflux.
+titaniumsandwedge Couldn't agree more ! I'm a petrochemical engineer and til this day I have not seen a distillation column without a boil-up and reflux ! except that the explanation was good and very SIMPLIFIED !!
This video was a godsend for my presentation about petroleum distillation in college. It did wonders to help me understand the book I was using, and I was able to use the book much more effectively as a result.
Beyond being excellent feats of engineering, these oil refineries are incredible to look at. They're not pretty like a local church, but they have a grand, sublime aspect about them. I want to tour one if it's possible
This brings back nightmares of school lol! Chem E was the Hardest thing I’ve ever done academically, never again though! The job was fun while it lasted though.
Lol. No, not me. But I am here because I got laid off from the upstream drilling side and want to refresh my knowledge because my next goal is to work in the Refinery process.
This is really cool and I live near a Huge really big refinery called NCRA I always wondered how it works to turn Crude oil into Gasoline! this is a great explanation! Thanks!.
I got a question. How the **** did are gand fathers ever figure this stuff out. I've been watching some of the reincarnated animes taking crude oil and making it into usable products. I was curious how it was done. Now im curious how can one go from before to this. Is it possible to even set up a crude version of this? Like if one was to make a small one in there back yard. My head hurts
The movie is good. Informative. I think the relationship between the boiling point and the concentration of the lighter fraction needs to be explained a little more. And as it decreases as we move up.
Always make sure your turbo-encabulator is properly calibrated. It can cause a-lot of down stream issues that are hard to troubleshoot. I would know because I am a maintenance electrician for my local school division.
My question is simple . The flashing point isit in the middle of tower or in the bottom section? Because some pplz says (flashing point.) is from the bottom others says from the middle. And what's the difference? Sincerely.
During our Crude Oil Topping Plant (COTP) shutdown operation process, a seepage of about 3l/h (3 liters per hour) was observed on COTP naphtha condenser. Please advise how to evaluate the feasibility of flushing the Naphtha condenser at the end of each COTP run. Thanks
Hi may I ask questions about distillations process, Why cooling water and chilled water to the unit can only be stopped after the steam(energy)input and feed to the unit have stopped?
It uses Corey's law of separation with pressure. Corey's law states that if a liquid group of molecules is pressurized, then particles slowdown and cool down. This is why ice cream if in the sun solidates.
Flash zone situated just above the bottom of CDU column, you have not shown the exchanger train and CDU furnace in the whole process of distillation. It's quite strange for me
Gee it makes my oil poetry believable now my refinery not as complex but there is some reboil and other terms I can lace into it that can be understood. Wish me well.
Steam, you have an exchanger with steam on the shell side and the product you want to heat (oil) going through the tubes on the exchanger. This is where you get your heat transfer.
The liquid composition is defined by the thermodynamic properties of the different components in the mixture. The re-boiler and the condenser feed back exactly the same ratio of "liquids" back into the distillation column that go out the bottoms and top feed respectively. This allows for, lack of better words, another chance for separation to occur due to the boiling points of the different components.
suspicionofdeceit / They are drawn at different hights of the tower. They are distilled and separated by their different densities at different hights. They are mixed together at the bottom, but by ascending as distillates they separate individually by their own density at different levels. The heavier remain closer to the bottom, the lightest ones ascend higher and higher towards the top of the tower.
Geographer 4 fun we use the bottom product and send it to an oil heater then back to the bottom. The heater uses natural gas and we send crude oil through tubes in the heater to be heated and returned to the bottom of distillation tower.

the most comprehensive presentation on distillation column I've ever seen.
thank u for ur kind work.
I worked many years in Petrochemical Industries and vessel fabrication. This video answered many questions.
“Smart people simplify things.” thank you for this video. it does help me a lot!

sir i am petro chemical sub engineer ..........i need some help from u . please messahe me my email ssaaiiff484@gmail.com
titaniumsandwedge
SHUT UP!!!
If your a chemical engineer and cannot grasp distillation you in the wrong profession.
I am a chemical engineering student and this was very helpful.... so thanks a lot!
Worked on repairing these back in the 1980's. Hard work but fun times. A job for young men.
Perfect Video!! I am from Germany and understood everything in the Video!!
A great presentation Sir. No words to appreciate you. Please keep up your good work Sir
Full HD when it's 240P
This is one of the most detailled explanation of the distilled process. GBU
Wow, you can narrate like nobody's business. Great content.
This video was a godsend for my presentation about petroleum distillation in college. It did wonders to help me understand the book I was using, and I was able to use the book much more effectively as a result.
Great video but the HD tag was a little fib now wasn't it........
Maybe right after WWII, this was considered HD xD
Still a better resolution than what we all had for this year...
Aha that just means Highly Descriptive
Haha facts
@@theoriginalG99 hi i
Clear and concise explanation..Thank You
VERY NICE EXPLANATION...THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I searched everywhere and NOW here it is. Thank you so much.
Beyond being excellent feats of engineering, these oil refineries are incredible to look at. They're not pretty like a local church, but they have a grand, sublime aspect about them. I want to tour one if it's possible
Watching this over and over while testing myself over it for my Exxon Mobile interview.......
Did you get the job
For starters, you should know that's not how to spell ExxonMobil.
How'd it go?
You don't really need to know all this to empty trash cans and clean the toilets there.
You dont need to know this to work at a gas station you idiot.
thank you sir. now i got cleared all my doubts. PLEASE UPLOAD MORE CHEM ENGG VIDEOS.
Very Excellent explanation Sir 👍
This brings back nightmares of school lol! Chem E was the Hardest thing I’ve ever done academically, never again though! The job was fun while it lasted though.
Yo who else is here after spending -1200 dollars on crude oil?
Lol. No, not me. But I am here because I got laid off from the upstream drilling side and want to refresh my knowledge because my next goal is to work in the Refinery process.
It is great presentation. I would ask you more if you do have other presentations. I appreciate it.
great and informative video!
This is really cool and I live near a Huge really big refinery called NCRA I always wondered how it works to turn Crude oil into Gasoline! this is a great explanation! Thanks!.
Clear. Straight forward. Best
it is very good video to understand distillation process ,,,,,,,,,,,!
relay good
Its indeed a helpful and gr8 efforts to explain in detail.
I got a question. How the **** did are gand fathers ever figure this stuff out. I've been watching some of the reincarnated animes taking crude oil and making it into usable products.
I was curious how it was done. Now im curious how can one go from before to this.
Is it possible to even set up a crude version of this? Like if one was to make a small one in there back yard. My head hurts
I am a chemical engineer. At university l enjoyed learning this process
A very interesting process. Thank you.
The movie is good. Informative. I think the relationship between the boiling point and the concentration of the lighter fraction needs to be explained a little more. And as it decreases as we move up.
Very easy explanation. I wish I had a teacher like him in my University.
This explanation is not for the university but only for the high school level in Europe.
Always make sure your turbo-encabulator is properly calibrated. It can cause a-lot of down stream issues that are hard to troubleshoot. I would know because I am a maintenance electrician for my local school division.
Is this in North America obin Europe? The use two total different methodes!
Thanks for your content! Very interesting topics. Thank you very much!
never c such a wonderful presentation of boiler...
stay blessed guy....
My question is simple . The flashing point isit in the middle of tower or in the bottom section? Because some pplz says (flashing point.) is from the bottom others says from the middle. And what's the difference?
Sincerely.
Do these machines need to be detected by helium mass spectrometer leak detector?
Thank you so much for this incredible information my brother!
hey... umm... what is exactly is the liquid we are talking about here... is it added externally or is it the condensed vapour?
Oil !!؟ Impossible! hhhhhhh
Crude oil, to be more précise..
Great video, nice explanation.
Thanks
During our Crude Oil Topping Plant (COTP) shutdown operation process, a seepage of about 3l/h (3 liters per hour) was observed on COTP naphtha condenser. Please advise how to evaluate the feasibility of flushing the Naphtha condenser at the end of each COTP run. Thanks
This is a simple splitting tower. A crude distillation tower has side draws which pull off the mid tower products
Matthew Broderick is really great at explaining refining.
@suspicionofdeceit You should see an eye doctor
great help for chem engineers
awesome description . concepts cleared
This video is great make me learned more about crude oil distillation process.
This video is soo great , thank you very much
how we can get the full video? many parts of it is cut in the presentation above.
Very very good video.Thank you.
nice presentation and thanks a lot
please send your enquiry to this email : firstecd07@oilfa.com
Hi may I ask questions about distillations process,
Why cooling water and chilled water to the unit can only be stopped after the steam(energy)input and feed to the unit have stopped?
Thanks mr. Presenter
Great info 🤠
Hello sir
Please confirm is silica sand / quartz sand is used in crude oil refinery
I am wondering, does the reboiler & refluxor use gravity filters to separate the reflux?
It uses Corey's law of separation with pressure. Corey's law states that if a liquid group of molecules is pressurized, then particles slowdown and cool down. This is why ice cream if in the sun solidates.
Flash zone situated just above the bottom of CDU column, you have not shown the exchanger train and CDU furnace in the whole process of distillation. It's quite strange for me
When was crude oil mentioned and that is the greatest HD I have ever seen.
Do you have any video illustration for SRU FCCU and DHDT Units as well?
Excellent video, very didactic. Thank you a lot!
Many thanks ! Perfect presentation !! It helps my understanding great !!!
Well explained abt the processes wat abt where is the heat used come from
1. Pre-heated feed.
2. Boil up heat at the reboiler.
Ok so a furnace or big burners are used! To heat up the charge on the diagram I would like to see the heating system also.
Best, old school video
Gee it makes my oil poetry believable now my refinery not as complex but there is some reboil and other terms I can lace into it that can be understood. Wish me well.
what kind of fuel do you use to heat the oil to boil it ?????
Steam, you have an exchanger with steam on the shell side and the product you want to heat (oil) going through the tubes on the exchanger. This is where you get your heat transfer.
Thank you .its really helpful n a great explanation.
have a distillation technique for pyrolysis oil?
We are factory of activated bleaching earth in China,pls contact me if you're interested
How is it decided which liquid goes back into the tower and which goes to the storage tank. Is it split based on weight?
Level controls
Would this work for an Ethanol still?
I'm the 700,000 viewer, I feel extremely special.
Thanks for clear explanation
I am trying to build a mini crude oil refinery as a project and I need help with the equipment design, can you help me?
gr8 to refresh ur concept
The liquid composition is defined by the thermodynamic properties of the different components in the mixture. The re-boiler and the condenser feed back exactly the same ratio of "liquids" back into the distillation column that go out the bottoms and top feed respectively. This allows for, lack of better words, another chance for separation to occur due to the boiling points of the different components.

Petron worker here
Very Helpful
I used to know a guy that had built his own distillation system, way back in the woods.
amazing the miracle of oil
Excellent video..
call me all you want , but what is used to pre-heat the petro or how does the boiler really works ? is it just pressure? electric ignition? matches?
Geographer 4 fun we use the bottom product and send it to an oil heater then back to the bottom.
The heater uses natural gas and we send crude oil through tubes in the heater to be heated and returned to the bottom of distillation tower.
best explanation..!!!
Dear Sir , could you please inform me , One Metric Ton CRUDE OIL , which products in Percentage , can i get >??
Nice work
elaborate illustration
thanks for contributions
welldone thank you sir, god bless us
So now I understand how I can tweak my moonshine distillery.
valuable information for instrument&process engineers and technicians.
thank you very much
what a great video thanks
Thank you!
prima uitleg !
Thank God for oil refineries. ST JAMES 1:17
Thank you: I learned something! 🌠
No one is going to respond to you moron.
great video
god bless you and weldone
