This invention relates to the distillation of petroleum and particularly to the maximum separation of gas oil fractions, is. fractions 'boilin-g Within the range 220-400 C. on a TBP curve, from crude oils.
In a conventional crude oil distillation column operating at a pressure of approximately three atmospheres, four side streams are commonly withdrawn, viz. naphtha, kerosine, light gas oil and heavy gas oil. Atmospheric residue is withdrawn from the column base, and a totally condensed overhead distillate from the column head.
The maximum yield of straight-run gas oil of a given pour point obtainable from a conventional crude oil distillation column is limited by the degree of fractionation at the gas oil back end cut point. Thus, improved fractionation would increase the gas oil yield.
The internal reflux in a conventional distillation column has its maximum value at the top of the column and de creases to almost nothing immediately above the flash zone of the column. Both the light and heavy gas oil frac- I tions are drawn from a zone in the column in which the cut point than that demanded by the product require-- ments. A flow of liquid is then provided over the trays i immediately above the flash zone. The amount of additional reflux which can be obtained in this way is, however, limited and insuflicient to effect maximum gas oil separation. 7
According to the present invention, in a crude oil distillati-o-n process conducted in a conventional atmospheric column, the heavy gas oil side stream fraction is combined with at least a portion of the atmospheric residue, the combined fraction being refractionated to give an additional gas oil product. The term heavy gas oil, in this specification, means the distillate fraction which =boi1s above 300 C.
Preferably the heavy gas oil is combined with the front 10-40% weight portion of the atmospheric residue, which is preferably obtained by vacuum flashing the atmospheric residue to give a 1040% weight overhead portion. This portion is subsequently combined with the heavy atmospheric gas oil, and the mixture fractionated under vacuum in a re'boiled column. This method has the advantage that close control can be maintained over the fractionation conditions.
Alternatively the whole of the atmospheric residue may I be combined with the heavy gas oil before vacuum flashing the mixture in a tower containing fractionating trays, under flash conditions arranged to give the required reflux in the fractionation section. This method is not so closely controllable however, but may be suitable where mini 'mum plant alteration is essential.-
The invention is illustrated 'by the following example:

In order to determine the maximum gas oil that could be recovered from the crude oil charge the following experiment was performed in the laboratory.
Heavy atmospheric gas oil was combined with atmospheric residue in the proportions which they were drawn from the crude unit. The resulting composite was put in a 14 plate batch distillation column operating at 2:1 external reflux with a column head pressure of 50 mm. Hg absolute. The distillation was continued until a 20% wt. (on feed) distillate was obtained. Inspection data on the feeds and products are given in Table 3.
The experiment demonstrates that the yield of gas oil boiling above a crude oil TBP cut point of 223 may be increased from 22.47% wt. on crude to 26.72% wt. on crude; the pour point of the total gas oil remains constant at 15 F., While the specific gravity (measured at 60 F.) increases from 0.8462 to 0.8520. At the same time the cloud point decreases from 22 F. to 18 F., while the diesel index decreases from 58 to 55. Thus an improvement in both specific gravity and cloud point is obtained, and although the diesel index decreases slightly the decrease is acceptably small.

column, at a rate of 82,000 b.p.s.d., resulted in a material balance over the unit as indicated in Table 5.
A further two experiments were carried out in which the heavy gas oil stream was shut in and the yield of atmospheric residue increased by the amount that the heavy gas oil was decreased. In both these experiments the crude oil was processed at 82,000 b.p.s.d. and the temperature and pressure at the inlet to the secondary column were maintained constant, and at the same values as were observed for the first experiment. During these latter two experiments a portion of the atmospheric residue was passed to an adjacent vacuum distillation unit operating at 21,550 b.s.p.d. and the material balances resulting from the operation of the atmospheric and vacuum distillation units in the above described manner are indicated in Tables 6 and 7.
The product properties resulting from these three experiments are given in Tables 8, 9 and 10.
Relevant data on the efiect of (i) incorporating the whole of the heavy atmospheric gas oil into the gas oil pool (i.e. light gas oil plus heavy gas oil) (ii) incorporat- 6. ing the whole of the vacuum gas oil into the gas oil pool (i.e. light gas oil plus vacuum gas oil) are summarised in Table 11.
The experiments demonstrate that improved fractionation enhances both gas oil yield and gas oil quality, viz:
(9.) Experiment 3 shows that for constant diesel index the yield of gas oil boiling above a crude oil TBP cut point of 235/236 C. is increased from 21.51% wt. on crude (experiment 1) to 23.09% wt. on crude, i.e. an increase of 7.35% wt. on product; at the same time the pour point is reduced from F. to 20 F., whilst the cloud point also shows a significant reduction from 32 F. to 20 F.
(b) Experiment 2 shows that fior substantially constant diesel index and cloud point the yield of gas oil boiling above a crude oil TBP cut point of 235/236 'C. is increased from 21.51% wt. on crude (experiment 1) to 26.38% wt. on crude, i.e. an increase of 22.7% wt. on product; although the pour point is adversely raised from 25 F. to F.

The yield In the drawing, heated crude oil is fed via line 1 into of gas oil product expressed as a percentage of atmosconventional atmospheric distillation column 2. Atmospheric heavy gas oil together with atmospheric residue pheric residue from the base of the column is fed via line 65 is 20% Wt., While on rerun column feed it is equivalent to a 47.6% wt. distillate. Residue from this reboiled column is combined via line 14 with that recovered from the column 4, so as to give a final residue of 80% weight calculated on atmospheric heavy gas oil and atmospheric 70 residue feed to the recovery system.
The gas oil recovery unit will thus produce a good quality gas oil with a pour point of 35 F. (as indicated in Table 3) at a yield on crude of 10.88% wt., so that when blended with the light gas oil drawn from the crude unit (pour point --5 F., yield on crude 15.84%
wt.) the resulting gas oil has a pour point of 15 F. at a yield on crude of 26.72% wt.
Other standard items of equipment, e.g. pumps, heat exchangers and the like, are shown in the drawing.
Equipment of the type described above could be added to an existing crude distillation unit to increase gas oil recovery. If units already exist for vacuum distillation of only a part of the atmospheric residue, the above equipment could be integrated with the existing units. In a new refinery where vacuum distillation of atmospheric residue is required, say to produce feedstock for another process, then the above equipment could be integrated with the vacuum distillation unit with corresponding reduction in capital and operating costs.
