hydrokracking
Hydrocracking is a refinery process used to convert heavy hydrocarbon fractions into lighter, more valuable products. It involves using hydrogen at high temperatures and pressures in the presence of a catalyst. The process breaks down large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller ones, such as gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel.
The feedstock for hydrocracking is typically residue from crude oil distillation, vacuum distillation, or coker units.
The hydrocracking process typically involves several stages. The feedstock is mixed with hydrogen and heated, then
Hydrocracking offers several advantages over other cracking processes. It can process a wider range of feedstocks,
