Crude oil distillation
In this refinery application series on Crude Oil Distillation; explore how Alfa Laval's welded heat exchanger technologies have been applied to debottleneck, increase capacity, reduce CAPEX, increase energy efficiency & reduce utilities.
Application leaflets
Crude distillation is the heart of the refinery, and optimal performance of this process is key to profitability. Whether it is your atmospheric or your vacuum distillation unit that needs optimization, Alfa Laval has the experience and the solutions that will take your refinery to the next level.
Case stories
Tamoil has maximized energy recovery from CDU OVHD vapour, at minimal CAPEX and plot space availability.
