Advanced Engineering for Crude Atmospheric Distillation
The Atmospheric Distillation Unit — ADU — is the refinery’s central asset, responsible for the primary separation of crude oil into gases, naphtha, kerosene, diesel, and atmospheric residue. Clark Solutions supplies integrated solutions with towers equipped with high-performance trays, packing, and distributors. Our engineering ensures uniform fluid distribution and strict hydraulic control, preventing stagnant zones and channeling. With a focus on customized projects and manufacturing in high-grade alloys, we ensure higher product yield, optimized heat integration, and operational flexibility to accommodate different feed qualities, reducing shutdowns and maximizing profitability.
