TeachMeFinance.com - explain Distillation unit (atmospheric) Distillation unit (atmospheric) The term 'Distillation unit (atmospheric)' as it applies to the area of energy can be defined as ' The primary distillation unit that processes crude oil (including mixtures of other hydrocarbons) at approximately atmospheric conditions. It includes a pipe still for vaporizing the crude oil and a fractionation tower for separating the vaporized hydrocarbon components in the crude oil into fractions with different boiling ranges. This is done by continuously vaporizing and condensing the components to separate higher oiling point material. The selected boiling ranges are set by the processing scheme, the properties of the crude oil, and the product specifications'.
