Kerosene fluid catalytic cracking

The major goal of hydroconversion is the cracking of residua with desulfurization, metal removal, denitrogenation, and asphaltene conversion. The residuum hydroconversion process offers production of kerosene and gas oil, and production of feedstocks for hydrocracking, fluid catalytic cracking, and petrochemical applications. 

The process of fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is undoubtedly at the heart of the refinery and may be considered one of the most important processes of the chemical industry. This process converts heavy atmospheric residues and vacuum distillates into value-added fractions such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and LPG.
