Crude oil is fed into the CDU where it is separated into fractions in the atmospheric distillation tower. Various components of the crude oil are separated in the distillation tower and collected in trays. The crude oil is further processed to remove sulphur and other impurities to improve its octane rating.

The residue from the base of the distillation tower is removed and processed in the FCC. A catalyst is added in the FCC to distil the heavy oil to produce gasoline and diesel. The heaviest residue from the distillation tower is redistilled in the VDU. This site uses cookies to analyze traffic and for ads measurement purposes. Where is Coryton?
