petroleum distillation

The plant uses heavy fuel oil, a byproduct of petroleum distillation.

Fuel oil: a byproduct of the petroleum distillation process, usually considered either a distillate or a residue.

Industrially, it is isolated from the C aromatic hydrocarbon fraction during petroleum distillation.

If need be, the plant will also be designed to use heavy fuel oil, a byproduct of petroleum distillation, as an alternative fuel.

Fuel oil or heavy oil is a fraction obtained from petroleum distillation, either as a distillate or a residue.

Hrymak, Operations Optimization and Control Design for a Petroleum Distillation Process.

Anodes are made primarily of a mixture of coke (solid residue from petroleum distillation) and pitch (residue from the distillation of coal tar).

Also that year, nearly three years before the patent case went to trial, Winkler-Koch signed contracts to build petroleum distillation plants in the Soviet Union, which did not recognize intellectual property rights.

Most of the asphalt used in Canada as an impregnating and waterproofing agent in asphalt roofing products and built-up roofing is the residue of petroleum distillation, with some refinement to achieve desirable properties and a range of softening points.

Liquefied petroleum gas, naphtha, gasoline, kerosene, diesel/heating oil, light gas oils, and lubricating oil are produced from petroleum distillation; b. Vacuum distillation - Distillation at a pressure below atmospheric but not so low that it would be classed as molecular distillation.

Odours occur as well in chemical processing of coal or crude oil into precursor chemicals (feedstocks) for downstream industrial uses (e.g. plastics or pharmaceutical production) and the ubiquitous needs of petroleum distillation for gasolines, diesel, and other grades of fuel oils production.

Petroleum distillation had been going on in the US at a small scale since 1851, when Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania salt manufacturer Samuel Kier began taking the petroleum which was fouling his salt wells, and distilling it in a five-gallon still into lamp oil which he sold to coal miners.
