How is it possible to increase the yield of light hydrocarbons from crude petroleum?

Increasing the yield of light hydrocarbons in crude petroleum is only possible by refining the petroleum in a huge chemical plant, so you will not be able to do it in your home. The refining process itself is very complicated: crude oil is separated into different fractions by distillation which are later treated further to convert them into new compound mixtures.

What are hydrocarbons found in?
Hydrocarbons , are mostly compounds formed juring matter decaying such as Methane. Other hydrocarbons are found in Crude Oil which is formed by matter decaying of millions of years, also in time form Coal. Hydrocarbons are compounds that are made up out of only hydrogen and carbon.
Which petroleum product has the lowest boiling point?
The fraction of crude oil that has the lowest boiling point is the Liquified Petroleum Gas, which is a mixture of small hydrocarbons(methane, ethane, etc).
What is another word for petroleum?
Petroleum is oil, more specifically crude oil, a thick mix of hydrocarbons formed from compressed plant matter over a period of millions of years.
How is crude made into products?
Crude oil contains mixture of various types of hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons are separated by fractional distillation. Different hydrocarbons have different boiling points and therefore after crude oil is heated, shorter chains of hydrocarbons which have lower boiling point will become gas and can be easily separated one by one from hydrocarbons with shorter chains to longer chains. The brief products are Petroleum Gas, Gasoline, Kerosone, Heating Oil, Lubricating Oil and Bitumen in order of increasing molecular size.
