Practical Distillation: Properties and Basic Fractionation Concepts
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
Practical Distillation: Properties and Basic Fractionation Concepts begins by explaining how crude oil is processed. Next, it discusses the different properties of oil, giving special attention to the properties often referred to or measured in the refining process. This course will also provide you with a general knowledge of how the properties affect the distillation process.
