Thermal and Catalytic Processes in Petroleum Refining

Raseev, Serge

Thermal conversion processes: thermodynamical analysis of technological processes; theoretical background of thermal processes; reaction systems; industrial implementation of thermal processes; elements of reactor design. Processes on acid catalysts: theoretical basis of catalytic cracking; industrial catalytic cracking; design elements for the reactor-regenerator system; other processes on acid catalysts. Processes on metalic catalysts: hydrofining and hydrotreating. Processes using bifunctional catalysts: hydroisomerization of alkanes; hydrocracking; Catalytic reforming; process combination and complex processing schemes. Appendix: influence of the n/i alkanes ratio in the pyrolysis feed on the ethene/propene ratio in the products.
