Hazards of atmospheric distillation tower where crude oil flows through?
The tower was 80- 90 feet tall, 18 feet in diameter and was insulated with 60% chrysotile asbestos. It is a company with operations in chemical manufacturing.​

Some liquids can be distilled, but only at temperatures that are so high that it is impractical, or so high the compound decomposes. explain why distillation such compounds at significantly less than atmospheric pressure (some degree of vacuum) would solve this problem.
