![]() Hydrocracking processes are designed for, and run at, a variety of conditions. The main products have lower boiling points, are highly saturated, and generally range from heavy diesel to light naphtha. The chemistry involves the conversion of heavy molecular weight compounds to lower molecular weight compounds through carbon-carbon bond breaking and hydrogen addition. ![]() The process adds hydrogen which improves the hydrogen to carbon ratio of the net reactor effluent, removes impurities like sulfur to produce a product that meets the environmental specifications, and converts the heavy feed to a desired boiling range. Hydrocracking is commonly applied to upgrade the heavier fractions obtained from the distillation of crude oils, including residue. Hydrocracking is a flexible catalytic refining process that can upgrade a large variety of petroleum fractions.
