Hydrocrackers break heavy, long chain gas oil molecules into shorter, lighter, more valuable molecules. Carbon bonds are broken, followed by Hydrogen saturation. Typical feedstock is Coker gas oil and gas oils from crude oil distillation. The process includes:
- Feed stock is mixed with Hydrogen, pressurized (2000 psi), and heated (425 C).
- This mixture is sent to a reactor containing a catalyst (typically platinum) where the cracking takes place.
- The hydrogen rich gas is then separated from the cracked product, which is further fractionated.
TechStar Analyzer Solutions can assist your Hydrocrackers with:
- Monitor the impurities in the and BTU in Flue Gas Stream
- Minimize the C3 and lighter components in the product stream
- Combustion Flue Gas Analysis for Safety, Efficiency, Throughput and Emissions Control
- Monitor the Moisture in the HydrogenRecycle Stream
