A fractional distillation system is provided for fractionating unequal liquid mixtures with lower heat throughput and lower energy consumption. For mixtures in which the heavy fraction is predominant (FIG. 1), a stripper (2) pre-fractionates part of the mixture at lower pressure and at no extra energy cost by being reboiled by an intermediate condenser (3). The pre-fractionator temperature range is preferably nested within (overlapped by) the distillation column (6) temperature range.
