Crude oil is heated in the furnace up to:

Crude oil is heated in the furnace up to:

  • (a) 300°C
  • (b) 350°C
  • (c) 400°C
  • (d) 450°C
  • In the case of fractional distillation, the crude oil is heated in a furnace to the point where most of the components change to a vapor before they are sent to the fractionating column for separation. The important detail here is the temperature of 400°C. This is why the correct answer is (c) 400°C.
  • In the case of the normal atmospheric fractional distillation of crude oil, the crude oil is heated in the furnace to a temperature of 350°C to 400°C. In some special cases, the temperature may be a little higher, but 400°C is the standard maximum temperature for the furnace. Therefore, to attain the maximum level of vaporization of the crude fractions, the best answer among the ones provided is: (c) 400°C
