Crude oil is first separated into different fractions by fractionated distillation. Individual substances cannot be isolated in this way, because the boiling points are very close to one another. Rather, the objective here is to collect hydrocarbons of certain boiling point ranges.
In chemical engineering, crude oil is distilled in bubble tray columns. This process is simulated in experiment C2.3.2.1. The system is fitted with two bubble trays so multiple fractions can be extracted simultaneously.
