Crude oil received by a refinery is initially distilled or fractionated into multiple“cuts” by boiling range. These cuts are further processed into final products in the refinery units. This chapter describes the initial crude fractionation process in both atmospheric and vacuum distillation units and how these units are designed. Detailed example design calculations are provided.
