2.2: The process of crude oil refining

D_FactZ on Instagram: "Crude Oil Refining Process After extraction, crude oil undergoes Desalting to remove impurities like salt and sand. The primary stage is Fractional Distillation, where the oil is heated to approximately 400^\circ\text{C} in a tall tower. As vapors rise and cool, they condense into different products based on their boiling points, such as LPG, Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene. ​To increase yield, Cracking breaks down heavy molecules into lighter ones (like petrol). Finally, the
