That process is called fractional distillation or fractionation. Crude oil is heated and then passes through a fractionation column. The products of the fractionation process depends on the temperature where that component starts to separate from the crude oil (Lowest temperature: top). To give a few examples, the precursor for aviation gasoline and jet fuel comes from the distillate that comes from the top of the fractionating column. Asphalt and paraffin wax comes from the bottom part of the column.

I also found this interesting because living in the SF Bay Area, there are a couple refineries around the bay (I know most people don't think of San Francisco and Big Oil in the same sentence , but this IS where Standard Oil got started, and is now called Chevron). So, I've driven past these oil tank farm and refineries since I was born, and was alway curious about what was going on.

Ahh, yes, the - not so - good old times! The retro-grade of this movie, the music, the theatrical speaker, the stop-motion, all is quite endearing. And as things sometimes go, it happened in the last weeks that I wrote a few articles about procedures in the Dangote refinery close to Lagos (for a knowledge platform I am not allowed to mention here) - and I could not have explained it better. I missed the term "naphtha" though, nowadays you do not get "straight run gasoline" from a distilling unit just like that. For explaining the reforming process I would have said a few words about "octane value" and what it means, otherwise it remains pointless - yet the RON became relevant ca. 15 years after this movie was made, so it is a surprise it was mentioned at all. All in all I agree with other comments: the creators obviously knew their stuff and really really were trying to pass on their knowledge. The stop-motion animation is hopelessly antiquated - and then again: the persons who put these molecule models together (in weeks of work for a few seconds of film) knew what these models actually mean, you can see the toluene molecules and xylene molecules. Modern CGI looks more slick of course, but you can tell often, that their makers do NOT know basic physics. And that the script department and the animation department live different lives and do NOT support each other. Tip to the hat. Despite the retro-vibe this 70-year-old film can be shown to anyone starting to work at a refinery today. It deserves more likes.
@onemoremisfit2 жыл бұрын
Except it is not 70 years old. As others have pointed out, there is a graphic of a late 1960s car at 11:22 in the section discussing how straight run gasoline does not have sufficient octane rating for a modern car.
