Separation of the Liquid: The liquid distillate naturally separates (or is processed) into two distinct layers:
* Pyroligneous Acid: An aqueous (water-based) layer containing acetic acid and methanol.
* Crude Tar: A thick, dark, oily mixture that contains the heavier organic compounds.

Fractional Distillation of Crude Tar: The Crude Tar is then further distilled based on density and boiling points to produce:
* Light Oils (Turpentine):
