What is the main impact of the cracking reactor on product quality?
Thread Content
At present, my unit is mainly engaged in refining reactions; although the temperature for cracking reactions has been increased, no reaction occurs (no hydrogen is added). What effects will cracking reactions have on the various parameters of the oil product? For example, specific gravity, process, cetane number, and cold filter plugging point – especially the cold filter plugging point – can it be reduced? Thank you all.
The indicators of oil products include: decreased specific gravity, reduced boiling range, increased cetane number, and lowered cold filter point.
Why does the cold filter point decrease? Thank you. After the specific gravity is reduced, the process can be appropriately extended.
Is it helpful in lowering the ignition temperature of gasoline and diesel?
As the components become lighter, the boiling range decreases and the cold filter point drops. Note that it is a change in boiling range, not a change in process.
It is helpful; the specific results depend on the operation of the fractionation tower.
