The main processes in the refining industry include atmospheric distillation, vacuum distillation, thermal processing, catalytic cracking, catalytic reforming, hydrocracking, and hydrorefining. What are the characteristics of these processes?
Let’s start with the principles. Atmospheric and vacuum distillation rely on the principle of distillation, while the core of catalytic cracking lies in the reactor and the concept of sulfidation. The reaction is the key element, while physical operations serve as the prerequisite. There are so many processes available these days that it’s not practical to remember them all one by one; I simply consider them to be the reaction phase and the physical processes
