The Distillation Unit distills and refines fluids, most importantly Crude Oil.
This page describes Voluminous Energy 0.5 (Alpha 2, for 1.21.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2). All numbers are the default values from the startup config and can be changed there.
Usage
Put the fluid in the input tank. Each recipe produces up to two output fluids and sometimes an item by-product (for example Crude Oil gives Light Fuel, Naphtha and a 5% chance of Raw Sulfur). An upgrade in the upgrade slot shortens the processing time (see Machine upgrades).
Energy

| Power consumption | 64 FE/t | Power Consumption |
| Energy storage | 5,000 FE | Maximum Power |
| Maximum input/output | 2,500 FE/t | Maximum Transfer |
Inventory
The "default face" is the side of the machine that automation (hoppers, pipes) uses for the slot by default, relative to the machine's front. It can be changed in the machine's IO settings.
| # | Slot | Default face | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bucket input (fill/empty tank) | Up | |
| 2 | Bucket output | Down | |
| 3 | Bucket input (fill/empty tank) | Up | |
| 4 | Bucket output | Down | |
| 5 | Bucket input (fill/empty tank) | Up | |
| 6 | Bucket output | Down | |
| 7 | Item output | Down | |
| 8 | Upgrade | — | Speeds up processing (see Machine upgrades) |
Tanks
| Tank | Capacity | Restriction |
|---|---|---|
| Input | 4,000 mB | |
| Output | 4,000 mB | |
| Output | 4,000 mB |
Multiblock
The Distillation Unit is the controller of a multiblock. It only works when there is a solid 3 × 3 × 3 cube of Aluminum Machine Casing (27 blocks) next to it, with the controller against the middle of the bottom layer of one side of the cube. Which side depends on the direction the controller faces. The structure is checked once a second.
