Petroleum Refining Process

Petroleum is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms. It primarily consists of paraffins, aromatics, and naphthenes, each with distinct properties such as boiling point, density, and solubility. The petroleum distillation process involves heating crude oil in a distillation column to separate it into various fractions, with techniques like pump back reflux and pump around reflux enhancing separation efficiency.
