How is the minimum processing volume specified in hydrocracking?
Thread Content
Dear experts, what determines the minimum processing capacity of a hydrocracking unit? Is it determined by the minimum allowable flow rate of the feed pump, or 60% of the maximum processing capacity?
It’s necessary to consider the temperature rise; if the processing volume is too low, it won’t meet the temperature requirements for hydrocracking, or the temperature rise may be unstable

The feasibility studies and design specifications outline clear requirements; the typical operating range for cracking is 60%-120%, with the pump outlet flow at 60% representing the minimum processing volume when the system is under load.
