Thermal cracking is the decomposition process of cheap heavy residues into lower molecule higher value products, under severe thermal conditions in the absence of the catalyst. It is a very...
Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) is the conversion process used in a petroleum oil refinery to convert the low-value heavier long-chain hydrocarbon refinery fractions such as heavy vacuum gas oils into...
Ebullated bed reactor (EBR) in oil refineries is a type of fluidized bed reactor that utilizes ebullition, or bubbling, to achieve appropriate mixing of reactants and catalysts for residue hydroprocessing....
Oil refinery residue upgrading or bottom-of-the-barrel upgrading is the process of conversion of heavy petroleum fractions into high-valued lighter petroleum products. In oil refinery the term bottom of the barrel...
