Refinery vacuum distillation units (VDUs) use ejector systems to establish and maintain distillation-column pressure for capturing valuable crude fractions and reducing vacuum residuum. Reliable ...

New membrane technology developed by a team of researchers could help reduce carbon emissions and energy intensity associated with refining crude oil. Laboratory testing suggests that this polymer ...

A study has shown that steamflooding distillation effects would improve crude recovery from thin reservoirs with less viscous crude. Steam distillation means that steam injection will cause some ...

Cannabidiol is of particular interest in the medical community today, with many studies showing its efficacy in the treatment of epilepsy. A broad spectrum of pre-clinical research in other fields ...

Crude oil cannot be used directly and must go through refining. At refineries, it is separated into petrol, diesel, kerosene and other products using processes like fractional distillation and ...
