PP-4 is a continuous distillation unit that consists of two sections: a vacuum flasher and a two-column atmospheric unit. Its main purpose is to fractionate a multicomponent hydrocarbon stream into boiling range fractions. PP-4 can run at atmospheric or sub-atmospheric pressures, which means cutpoints are between 80°C and 560°C. The unit is completely automated, with all the process and emergency control functions achieved via the Paragon computer control system.
