Abstract

Adjustment and control of a product fraction stream and especially gas oil are effected by a control unit after processing information supplied by an analyzer which takes a direct measurement of the temperature of filtrability of the stream and by detectors which deliver signals representing the flow rate of the gas oil withdrawn, the rate of withdrawn of the next higher product stream, the flow rate of the crude petroleum being processed, the flow rate of the stripping vapor and of the next lower product stream, and the slope of the distillation curve of the crude petroleum in the gas oil zone.
