Objectives:

Distills the incoming crude oil into various fractions of

different boiling ranges, each of which are then processed
further in the other refinery processing units.

Provides removal of contaminations in crude oil (salts,

solids, metal…) which have negative impacts on
operation/ performance of downstream units.
