The report revolves around the cost analysis of production of hexane from the distillation of crude oil. Hexane is industrially derived from crude oil through a series of refining processes. Initially, crude oil undergoes fractional distillation. This process involves heating the crude oil in a distillation column until it vaporizes, separating into different hydrocarbon fractions based on boiling points, with naphtha—containing hexane—condensing at the top of the column. The naphtha is then subjected to hydrodesulfurization, which involves treating it with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to remove sulfur impurities, yielding sweet naphtha. Then, the hexane-containing sweet naphtha is further made to undergo de-aromatization to ensure purity by removing aromatic compounds like benzene.
