What is Understanding Cracking in Oil Refining about?
Thermal cracking is a refining process that breaks down heavy hydrocarbon molecules into lighter molecules like gasoline. It involves applying heat and pressure with or without catalysts. Thermal cracking developed in the early 20th century to meet the growing demand for gasoline as an engine fuel. There are different types of thermal cracking processes that vary based on temperature and pressure used, including visbreaking, steam cracking, and coking. Coking involves severely cracking residuals to produce
