#17 SLIDE 2. Hydro-cracking
What is Hydro-cracking??
Hydro-cracking is a process that UPGRADES
heavy oil, into lighter oils,
in a Hydrogen rich atmosphere.
------------------------------------
Produces high quality, light products from
heavy oils,
in the presence of hydrogen.
#18 SLIDE 9. HCU Overview
We take this LONG RESIDUE, and pass it through a couple of
downstream Units, to extract oils, that provide us with feed for
the Hydro-Cracker Unit.
One of these units is called a HIGH VACUUM UNIT
and the other is called a BUTANE De-ASPHALTING UNIT.
--------------------------------------------------------------
As has been already mentioned,the Hydro-cracking takes place in a
HYDROGEN RICH ATMOSPHERE,
so we need a supply of Hydrogen, of high quality and purity.
This is provided by another unit called a
HYDROGEN MANUFACTURING UNIT.
Lets now have a look at these 3 Units in a bit more detail.
