  1. Distillation: Crude oil is heated to separate it into different components based on their boiling points.
  2. Cracking: Larger hydrocarbon molecules are broken down into smaller molecules to increase the amount of valuable products like gasoline.
  3. Treatment: Additional processes like desulfurization and hydrogenation are carried out to remove impurities and improve the quality of the final products.
