Crude Oil Fractional Distillation Process Explained with Visual Diagram #3628266 (License: Personal Use)

This stylized infographic depicts a fractional distillation column where crude oil is heated and separated by boiling point into various hydrocarbon fractions. Arrows show outputs such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), gasoline for cars, kerosene for jets and lamps, diesel for trucks and ships, and heavier residues used in asphalt and industrial applications. Each fraction powers a different sector-from aviation and automotive to residential heating and manufacturing.
