Question

disadvantage and advantage of atmospheric distillation​

Answer 1

Answer:

Atmospheric distillation is the first and most fundamental step in the the refining process. The primary purpose of the atmospheric distillation tower is to separate crude oil into its components (or distillation cuts, distillation fractions) for further processing by other processing units.

Disadvantages.

Most cost-efficient distillation column when the diameter of the column is less than 0.6 m. Because packing can be made from inert materials, packed beds are able to handle corrosive materials. Lower pressure drop than in plate columns preventing column flooding.
