Learn how the industrial process of fractional distillation transforms crude oil into a variety of products, from plane fuel to road surfacing.

Chemistry - Chemical Industries - Learning Points.

Extraction of crude oil from Fractional Distillation gives us many useful products.

First it is heated to a vapour and pumped into a tall tower.

As it travels up, liquids of different boiling points are collected.

For example, Naptha is used for plastics and petrol is used for fuel.
