Distillation of crude gasoline to remove impurities in United States. Animation shows the process of distillation of the crude petroleum. The still is charged with crude gasoline and steam is passed through perforated pipes. The vapors after this process are composed of steam and pure gasoline. They pass from condenser in the form of gasoline and water. The water settles to the bottom and the gasoline overflows. Stillman works in the factory. The gauge indicates the flow in barrels. Stillman controls the operation by watching the rate and gravity of steam. Gasoline is fractionated on re-running stills using fire and steam.
Distillation of crude gasoline to remove impurities in United States. Cracking process to convert additional portion of crude oil into gasoline. Crude oil is distilled under high pressure. By this process, it cracks and yields 40% gasoline. Battery of pressure stills. Smoke arises from the stills during processing. Animation shows the process of further distillation of crude oil to obtain gasoline. The still is charged with crude oil. It is fired with mechanical stokers. A high pressure is created in still from which cracking takes place. Then the gasoline passes off as vapor with some heavy oil. Fractionation takes place. The heavy ends are returned for further cracking. Gas vapors are passed in condenser coil. Then it is passed in receiving drum. Excess gas is taken off to maintain an even pressure.
The processing of gasoline to obtain natural gasoline. The casing-head or natural gas is recovered in oil field through oil wells. Gas is taken from casing-head. Gas is then compressed in the compression plant. The processing of gas in the plant. The compressed gas is cooled. Man loading natural gasoline for shipment in refinery. Tank car is filled through a tight cover. Filling the line. The gasoline vapor is recovered in an absorption plant.
The gasoline after processing undergoes various laboratory tests in United States. A man performs the distillation test of the gasoline at a laboratory. The gasoline is placed in a flask fitted with a thermometer. The flask is distilled under specific conditions. The initial boiling point is noted. The temperature at which first drop appears at the end of condenser is the initial boiling point. Distillation continues and further information is noticed. The test completes when all gasoline is distilled. At the maximum boiling point, a white vapor appears on flask.
Men conduct various laboratory tests on gasoline in the United States. View of a laboratory setting with test tubes, beakers, and other equipment. Tests conducted at the chemical and physical research laboratory to increase the yield, develop and improve distillation processes. Men perform the tests. Man stands near miniature stills for conducting experiments. Man draws liquid from a cask.
Storage of gasoline for meeting the demands in United States. Gasoline is stored in refineries. The gasoline reached to the consumer from storage tanks. Men fill barrels from gasoline. The barrels are filled through automatic filler.
