The process of separating a steam of natural gas liquids into its separate components.
The process for breaking natural gas liquids into component parts -- methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane and heavier hydrocarbons.
The chemical and physical separation of radionuclides produced in a nuclear detonation caused by differences in condensation rates as the fireball cools.
Removal of higher melting fractions (stearine) that solidify at higher than desired temperatures. This is done by cooling the oil or fat so that the stearine forms crystals that can be separated, usually by filtration. The term is mainly associated with processing of palm and similar highly saturated oils.
Physical separation of substance mixes by means of distillation, centrifugation or chromatography
The separation of one group of compounds in a mixture from another, generally by distillation.
a process that uses heat to separate a substance into its components
the separation of crude oil into its more valuable and usable components through distillation.
Controlled crystallization and separation techniques involving the separation of hard and soft fractions of a fat. Such processes are often employed in the production of "winterized" oils, high stability frying oils and cocoa butter alternatives fats.
The process of separating liquid hydrocarbons from natural gas into propane, butane, ethane, etc.
The process of using temperature and pressure to separate a mixture of NGLs with differing boiling points into individual products such as ethane, propane and butane
The process whereby saturated hydrocarbons from natural gas are separated into distinct parts or "fractions" such as propane, butane, ethane, etc.
The separation of chemical elements in nature.
A change in composition of a blend by preferential evaporation or condensation of the more or less volatile component.
The process of separating fats and oils by differences in melt points or volatility.
splitting an oil into fractions to remove undesirable elements
The process by which Blood plasma is separated into some of its different component parts. lucose - Blood sugar.
An oil or fat normally consists of a number of fractions, each of which has different physical characteristics. Fractionation is the separation of selected fractions with the object of obtaining a product with different physical characteristics from the original fat.
Fractionation is a separation process in which a certain quantity of a mixture (solid, liquid, solute or suspension) is divided up in a large number of smaller quantities (fractions) in which the changes according to a gradient. Fractions are collected based on differences in a specific property of the individual components. Common trait in fractionations is the need to find an optimum between the amount of fractions collected and the desired purity in each fraction.
