Synthetic Crude oil Preparation by laboratory means is necessary as process description analysis is concerned. This is deemed fit as the conventional crude oil is carcinogenic as regards usage in the laboratory. This crude oil alternative(Synthetic crude) is produced from proportions of liquid paraffin, paraffin oil, white spirit,4ml petroleum ether subjected at two various temperature conditions(800C&1000C)and 6ml of petroleum ether at 600C. This article presents results of the various fractions of crude oil alternatives(synthetic crude) generated when distillation takes place. It is an approach to simulate the industrial fractional distillation of crude oil. The results from laboratory procedure from distillation process shows four fractions obtained ;product A derived at room temperature, product B derived at (100-1500C),Product C derived at (1502000C)and Product D derived at (200-2500C).The Four fractions were tested for viscosity, colour, smell and flammability. This article analyzes understanding how we obtain chemicals from Crude Oil.
