Determination of asphalt in crude oil

asphalt in crude oil

What is Bituminous?

The percentage of asphalt in crude oil is determined by the distillation process in a petroleum refinery. All the type of crude oil is not suitable to produce or determine asphalt content. Some crude oil are very heavy and produce large amount of asphalt and some crude oil are very light and produce very less or  no asphalt. In the refining process the crude oil is processed through a distillation tower. The atmospheric distillation tower is used as the primary unit in this processing. The crude oil is heated and fed into the atmospheric tower. The materials according to their molecular weight s will be pulled off on their particular boiling points to produce gasoline, kerosene, and fuel oils. The residual is the total content in the crude oil. And the percentage of asphalt is determined by their weight after the process.
