Rectification Section
Rectification Section is a top-mounted Distillation Column upgrade that raises diesel yield from 700 to 750 mB per 1000 mB of oil, cutting losses from 10% to 5%.
Description
Rectification Section is crafted from four Iron Plates and four Copper Plates laid out as an alternating frame around an empty centre, and it works identically on Fabric and NeoForge. The block drops itself when broken, so the upgrade can be moved to another tower at any time: remove the Rectification Section and the column simply returns to its base 700 mB yield without stopping. Energy still arrives only through the base at 2 EU/t, a cold column still warms up for 200 ticks (about 10 seconds), and the working steam moves up to the section itself, so a running refinery is readable from afar. In a continuous oil loop the extra diesel costs not a single extra EU, which makes the Rectification Section one of the cleanest efficiency upgrades of the LV tier.

How to use the Rectification Section in Minecraft
-
1
Assemble the Distillation Column
Stack three column segments vertically. The tower snaps together on its own, and the lowest block becomes the base that accepts crude oil and energy.
-
2
Craft the Rectification Section
Lay four Iron Plates and four Copper Plates in a crafting grid as an alternating frame around an empty centre cell; the recipe yields one section.
-
3
Place it on the summit
Put the Rectification Section directly on the top block of the assembled tower. The column immediately grows to four blocks and starts applying the bonus.
-
4
Run oil through the tower
Pump 1000 mB of crude oil into the middle tank and power the base at 2 EU/t. Every 400 EU operation now outputs 750 mB of diesel plus 200 mB of fuel oil.
-
5
Relocate the upgrade freely
Break the section to collect it as an item and place it on any other column. The bonus follows the block, and the tower keeps working at base yields without it.
The Rectification Section changes output volumes only: the warm-up time, the 400 EU operation cost and the 2 EU/t draw of the Distillation Column stay exactly the same.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Rectification Section do in Ala Industrial?
Placed on top of an assembled Distillation Column, it raises the diesel yield of every oil run from 700 mB to 750 mB per 1000 mB of crude oil, cutting losses from 10% to 5%.
How is the Rectification Section crafted?
Combine four Iron Plates and four Copper Plates in a crafting grid, alternating them as a frame around an empty centre cell. The recipe produces one section.
Where exactly does the section go?
Directly on the top block of a fully assembled three-block Distillation Column. The tower becomes four blocks tall and the bonus applies immediately, with no wiring or menus.
Does the Rectification Section consume energy?
No. The section is a passive structural block; the column keeps drawing its 2 EU/t through the base, and the bonus diesel needs no additional EU.
What happens when the section is broken?
The Rectification Section drops itself as an item and the column instantly falls back to the base yield of 700 mB of diesel per run. Re-placing the block restores the bonus.
Is the Rectification Section worth building?
Yes. The net energy per bucket of oil rises from 8,200 EU to 8,800 EU while the distillation cost stays at 400 EU, so a busy refinery recovers the plates quickly.
