Oil refining process
Oil refining process. Schematic diagram of how oil is refined from the crude state to the finished products. The process depends on breaking down the oil in a process named catalytic cracking (at 500 degrees Celsius). The three main areas here are (left to right): catalyst regeneration; cracking tower; and the fractionating tower. Air (blue) is supplied to regenerate the catalyst. Crude oil (grey) is pumped into the cracking tower. The product ends up in the fractionating tower (right). Different components of the crude oil condense at different temperatures, and hence at different heights. The products (bottom to top) are: bitumen, fuel oil, diesel oil, kerosene, naptha, petrol and gas

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate and fascinating process of oil refining. The detailed schematic diagram provides a comprehensive overview of how crude oil is transformed into various finished products through a series of complex steps. At the heart of this process lies catalytic cracking, where the oil is broken down at an astonishing temperature of 500 degrees Celsius. The three main areas depicted in the image are catalyst regeneration, cracking tower, and fractionating tower. Catalyst regeneration involves supplying air (depicted in blue) to rejuvenate the catalyst necessary for efficient refining. Grey-colored crude oil is pumped into the cracking tower, where it undergoes transformation. Finally, the refined product finds its way to the fractionating tower on the right side of the image. The fractionating tower plays a crucial role as different components within crude oil condense at varying temperatures and heights. From bottom to top, we witness bitumen, fuel oil, diesel oil, kerosene, naptha, petrol (gasoline), and gas being separated out as distinct fractions. This visually stunning illustration not only highlights key elements such as production facilities and technological equipment but also emphasizes chemistry's significant role in this industrial process. It serves as a reminder that behind our everyday use of fuels lie sophisticated engineering techniques employed by chemical plants and refineries worldwide.
