Crude distillation Unit (CDU)

Vaccum distillation Unit (VDU)

Catalytic reforming unit

Isomerizing unit

Visbreaker unit

Hydrocracker unit

Fluid Catalytic cracking unit (FCC)

these all are a kind of distillation process there are few process before and after distillation such as Desalter unit, Desulfuization Unit.

Crude oil is distilled into lighter hydrocarbons of different chain length. List of products of Oil refining are

Liquified petroleum gas (LPG)

Gasoline

Naphtha

Kerosene and jet aircraft fuels(ATF)
