crude oil refinery technologies

Introduction

Hello, student! Welcome to your chemistry lesson. You are going to learn more about chemistry technology.

We all know what crude oil is, but what is it's refinery process and technologies?

Task

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYnGgre83CI

Watch this video till 7:20 about crude oil refinery process, read the sentences in the next page and write true or false. Then watch the rest of the video for more understanding of refinery technologies.

Process

Read these sentences and in your notebooks write true or false about each sentence.

  1. All the refinery process is happening in the distillation system.
  2. Distillation system purpose is to seperate a liquid mixture into two or more components.
  3. The ''boil-up'' povides heat that is needed for the distillation process in the tower.
  4. All distillation systems are the exactly the same. 
  5. Sieve trays seperate vapors and liquid.
  6. Distillation towers are the ''heart''of distillation process and are called distillators.
  7. When the vapors are moving upwards and liquid is moving downwards, heavier components of the vapor turn hotter and keep moving upwards.
  8. Distillation tower has 3 basic sections. 
  9. To maximise product purity is used - reboiling.
