TE Refining
1. Introduction
Petroleum refining begins with the distillation, or fractionation, of crude oils into separate
hydrocarbon groups. The resultant products are directly related to the characteristics of the crude
processed. Most distillation products are further converted into more usable products by changing
the size and structure of the hydrocarbon molecules through cracking, reforming, and other
conversion processes as discussed in this chapter. These converted products are then subjected
to various treatment and separation processes such as extraction, hydrotreating, and sweetening
to remove undesirable constituents and improve product quality. Integrated refineries incorporate
fractionation, conversion, treatment, and blending operations and may also include petrochemical
processing.
