Abstract

This Uganda Standard covers the procedure for distillation of heavy hydrocarbon mixtures having initial boiling points greater than 150 Degrees Celicius (300 Degrees Fahrenheit), such as heavy crude oils, petroleum distillates, residues, and synthetic mixtures. It employs a pot still with a low pressure drop entrainment separator operated under total takeoff conditions. Distillation conditions and equipment performance criteria are specified and typical apparatus is illustrated. This standard was published on 2017-06-20.
