Let’s all talk about what the criteria for evaluating cracking in your catalytic units are

During normal production, people generally don’t give this much thought, as most devices have their appropriate reaction depth; even if adjustments are made, they are only minor tweaks. More attention is paid to the product distribution. However, the book states that the ratio of \"(c1+c2)/i-c4\" is used to distinguish between catalytic cracking and thermal cracking reactions. C1 and C2 are characteristic products of thermalization, while isobutane (i-C4) is a product of the hydrogen transfer reaction, which is a characteristic reaction in catalytic cracking. In the normal catalytic cracking process, this ratio ranges from 0.6 to 1.2; a value of <0.6 indicates that catalytic cracking is the dominant process, while a value >1.2 suggests that the cracking reaction is too intense. This applies only to ordinary devices; devices such as DCC may have a value greater than 1.2. There is also a measure of the degree of intensification based on the butadiene content; as the butadiene content increases, the intensity increases as well. It is also possible to use the ratio of C4/(C3+C4) in liquefied gas to determine the degree of intensification; a value of 0.65–0.7 indicates that catalytic cracking reactions dominate, while a value below 0.5 suggests a higher degree of intensification.
