  • Method of controlling a distillation column for topping crude petroleum
    Patent number: 4007112
    Abstract: The method consists in preparing from the crude petroleum being processed a representative cut constituting a vaporized fraction having a known yield, in plotting the TBP curve of the cut by chromatographic analysis and by integration of the quantitative signal produced as a result of the analysis. The information obtained from the analysis is processed in order to operate a control unit for generating signals which serve to adjust the rates of withdrawal of the cuts at different predetermined levels of the column.
