1) TBP: This type of distillation is commonly used due to the accuracy of the results obtained
by this method which is very close to that obtained via real distillation or industrial
distillation. In this distillation, there is a fractionation column located between the condenser
and the flask. In general, this type of distillation is carried out by two steps: firstly, under
atmospheric pressure until 300°C (1% distilled very 2 min), secondly under vacuum pressure
(to prevent cracking process and to reduce the boiling point) at 40mmHg (1% distilled every
3-5 min). In this process, the vapor press. temp. is plotted vs. distilled(%) to get TBP curve.
2) ASTM: In this type of distillation there is on fractionation column located between the
condenser and the flask. On the other hand, the raised vapor will not be fractionated in this
process. This distillation is used with fractions having short range of the boiling point.

Ex) Find T100% and T0% for EFV if T 50%(TBP) = 570 and Slope = 9.4.
Sol.: From Fig.10, the slope of EFV curve = 6.6 (at 9.4 TBP)

For a given crude oil; 1- Draw a TBP curve, 2- Evaluate the crude, 3- Find the value of Kw if
API=43, 4- Draw a EFV on the same Figure, 5- Find the vol. dis. At 1100F if CCR= 1.8%
then draw it, and 6- Find the vol. of the distilled at 1000F.
