Distillation unit atmospheric heaters serve a vital role in crude oil processing. Any issues directly related to reduced capacity of a heater, such as elevated tube-skin temperatures (TSTs) and coking ...

Currently the typical way that crude oil is processed involves a fractional distillation column, in which heated crude oil is separated into the various hydrocarbon compounds using distinct boiling ...

A study has shown that steamflooding distillation effects would improve crude recovery from thin reservoirs with less viscous crude. Steam distillation means that steam injection will cause some ...
