Fractionating column. The process is fractional distillation
Distillation
Separation by fractional destillation.
Stripping steam aids in separation in the column by "stripping' lighter components to higher trays in the column. While the crude is heated to a temperature where the pure components would normally go up, in crude oil the lighter components are often entrained in the heavier ones and the separation is not ideal. In actual practice stripping steam rates affect the flash points of the products as well as the concentration of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the products. The stripping steam added to the bottom of the column also affects the amount of overflash in the flash zone.
You can separate substances in a crude oil by distillation process. But you have to know what are the boiling points of each of the substance in the crude oil.
Petroleum is a mixture of various useful constituents and cannot be used directly,so to use it we have to seperate petroleum by a method called fractional distillation of petroleum.
Crude oil is a mixture of various chemicals. If you distill crude oil you can separate it into components, which are also known as fractions.
Fractional distillation is used to separate crude oil into many components.

boiling point
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.

Crude oil can be separated through a process called fractional distillation. This occurs in a refinery, where crude oil is heated to high temperatures. As the oil vapor rises through a vertical column, it cools, and different hydrocarbons condense at various temperatures. The column has trays or packing materials to facilitate separation based on boiling points. Lighter components like gases condense at the top, while heavier ones like bitumen collect at the bottom. This process exploits the differences in boiling points of hydrocarbons, allowing the extraction of various useful products such as gasoline, diesel, and lubricants from crude oil.
