Crude oil is separated by fractional distillation. The components of crude oil are separated by a process which is known as fractional distillation. Crude oil is made of different components whose sizes, weights and boiling temperatures are different from each other. When the crude oil is heated with high pressure steam at a high temperature, it boils and forms vapour. The vapour enters a fractional distillation column and settled in the trays of the column. The trays have holes in them which raise the contact time among the vapour and liquids. The vapour rises in the column and cools, the hotter substances settle at the bottom of the column and the cooler substances rise to the top of the column. The substances in the vapour condense and the fractions of liquid collect in the tray and pass to condensers and storage tanks.
When crude oil is processed in the fractional distillation column it separates out different by products on the basis of their boiling points. Most of the by- products of the crude oil have a large difference in their boiling points so method of fractional distillation is viable in such a process. Fractional distillation can also be done to separate out water and acetone from a solution.
you use fractional distillation! basically, all the different substances in crude oil have different boiling points, and the column which is used to do fractional distillation has stages with different temperatures. when the substance reaches its boiling point temperature in the column, it turns into liquid and settles there, away from other fuels.
Fractionating column. The process is fractional distillation

Fractional Distillation. Performed in a fractionating column. Heat is applied to the crude oil and it vaporises. Fractions with different boiling points rise to specific heights within the fractionating column, where they are condensed and extracted.
If the rate of the distillation through column is too rapid flooding occurs will effect on distillation rate causing low crude column flush zone vaporization that causes low internal reflux rate between GO and GO product and the light materials does not vaporize and it will effect on fractionation ability. Those effects on the specification of the distillation. So effective on crude temp. it will be dropping then crude hydraulic limitation occurred and making the problem worse. so in the top of column boiling film will cause,
don't know sorry
Crude oil is actually made up of many different products with different boiling points. Fractional distillation separates the products from one another.
The chemical constituents of crude oil all have different boiling points, which allows them to be separated by means of fractional distillation.
Distillation
Fractional distillation it is separating mixtures via their boiling points. Fractional distillation is done by adding some sort of material into the column that the vapor travels before being cooled and condensed while. Since the fractional distillation means the separation of a mixture into different componenets.Suppose the raw material entering into the distillation column contains many fraction(for example,if a crude oil is entering,it contains gases,gasoline,kerosene etc). if a distillation is done for such a material.this will be the fractional distillation.Because in a distillation column you will separate different components present in the crude Check the related question below to know more.
