Topping (Atmospheric Distillation)
Topping (Atmospheric Distillation) :
The initial transformation of the crude oil at a refinery. The topper heats crude oil at atmospheric pressure to accomplish the first rough distillation cut. The lighter products produced in this process are further refined in the catalytic cracking unit or the reforming unit. Heavier products which cannot be vaporized and separated in this process are distilled still further in the vacuum distillation unit or the coker
