How is the oil separated from crude oil?
Crude oil is separated in a separation column. Separation columns are used to heat the crude then the different hydrocarbons separate as the lighter ones float up and the denser ones fall to the bottom. LPG gas floats to the top, bitumen and paraffin wax sink to the bottom with diesel, kerosene, petrol and others in the middle. The height range which contains each different product is calculated based on the percentage of each product in the crude. This allows the plant to choose where to place the pipes to takes each individual product out of the separation for further refinement. For a more detailed explanation search for separation tower
Can crude oil can be a liquid or a gas?
Crude Oil is a liquid.
What is the boiling point of crude oil?
boiling point of crude oil is depending on the main component in the crude oil itself, heavy crude for example has a higher boiling point from light crude.
What are the properties of Brent Crude oil?
The properties of Brent Crude oil are the same properties of any crude oil, density, viscosity, and solubility. Although Brent is LCO (light crude oil).
How do they make crude oil?
you don't make crude oil. Crude oil is natural oil after it has been sucked up from the earth, before it has been processed
What is the difference between hydrocarbons and crude oil?
separation of hydrocarbons means separation crude oil of unpuerties also separation hydrocarbon gases but in case separation of crude oil only oil
What does it involve fractional distillation of crude oil?
This is the separation of crude oil components based on the differences between boiling point temperatures.
How crude oil are separated into its various components?
Separation by fractional destillation.
How are substnces taken from crude oil?
The refining of crude oil requires separation, distillation, reforming, cracking and related processes to resolve the mixture of components into products.
What are the similarities between the separation of crude oil and hydrocarbons?
I dont know but all ive seen are the differnces between separation of the two. rastttaccllarrt famm

What method of separation is used in the refinery to separate crude oil into its constituents such as petrol kerosene diesel?
Fractional distillation ( i think)
How is crude oil separated into fractions?
The separation is possible by fractional distillation.
Why does crude oil need to be separated?
You use fractional distillation. This involves a fractionating tower in which vaporised crude oil is fed into. It relies on the substances in crude oil having differnet boiling points. The temperature decreases further up the column, so shorter chain molecules condense near the top, while longer chain molecules - like bitumen - condense lower down - near 350 degrees. This refines crude oil easily.
What is Nigeria's position in the world in producing crude oil?
Crude oil is crude..
How are polymers made into crude oil?
Polymers are not made into crude oil. Crude oil is made into polymers.
What can you do with crude oil?
