6. Distillation
• The initial separation takes place
in the distillation Column
• The Crude is first heated in a furnace
to a temperature of 360 oC
• It enters the column and vapours and
liquids separate
• The light vapours rise to the top whilst
the heavier liquids fall to the bottom

11. • Increases low Octane Naphtha to
high Octane Platformate
• Uses Heat and Pressure in a
Reactor
• Hydrogen is evolved in the
process
• Platinum Catalyst assists the
process
