LTOs are paraffinic, low in asphaltenes but high in filterable solids. Understanding the impact of these mechanisms can shed light on preheat exchanger performance and the prediction of fouling rates.
Understand differences between thermal and hydrocracking
Successful operation and product yields are controlled by reactions at the molecular level
Upgrade FCC-feed hydrotreating
New study indicates that optimized pretreatment of FCC streams can yield clean, direct blending streams for gasoline and diesel
Clean fuels: What are the issues?
Critical hurdles such as testing and supply distribution must be resolved as part of new fuel mandates
