Abstract
The first step in optimizing the refining process is determining the composition of the crude. The analysis identifies undesirable trace metals and minerals, like sulfur, which are detrimental to equipment. Since the various hydrocarbon chains found in crude oil have different boiling points, distillation can be used to separate them into groups called fractions. Fractional distillation is the principal method used to separate crude oil. As the need for transportation fuels increased, two methods of "cracking" longer chains into smaller ones were perfected: fluid catalytic cracking and hydrocracking. Cracking increases from 20 to 50 percent the amount of gasoline that can be refined from one barrel of crude oil.
