First the bulky hydrocarbon chains are broken into smaller ones in a process called hydrocracking; upgraders may also remove carbon to produce the smaller chains along with coke. ❋ Marin Katusa (2011)
Sulphco says ultrasound waves make it easier for oil to react with catalysts, removing the need for the very high temperatures and pressure that other processes, such as hydrocracking, use to break down the oil molecules. ❋ Unknown (2009)
It also owns a distillate hydrocracking unit with 68,000-barrel-a-day capacity and an interest in the Massvlatke Olie Terminal in Rotterdam, one of the world's largest oil terminals. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Heavy to Light One method that has been around for decades, known simply as hydrocracking, is becoming increasingly popular because it allows refiners to produce more diesel, which is in high demand, using some sludge, though not the thickest part. ❋ Unknown (2009)
But the process, known as slurry hydrocracking, still hasn't been widely tested on the massive scale at which the refining industry operates. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Slurry hydrocracking is similar to this process, but can break down the thickest part of the sludge. ❋ Unknown (2009)
UOP, whose slurry hydrocracking technique is based on technology developed by Natural Resources Canada, the natural-resources department of Canada's government, says it is in talks with several refiners and expects to license the technology soon. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Both Eni and UOP say that their slurry hydrocracking methods will collect contaminants for use in other processes, such as making cement and steel. ❋ Unknown (2009)
A parallel slurry-hydrocracking method developed by UOP, a Des Plaines, Ill. -based division of Honeywell International Inc., makes the catalysts easier to replace than when they sit in a filter, UOP says. ❋ Unknown (2009)
It is also used in large quantities in methanol production, in hydrodealkylation, hydrocracking, and hydrodesulfurization. ❋ Unknown (2008)
It also introduced hydrocracking facilities to allow production of 40,000 bbl/d of low-sulfur diesel. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The hydrocracking process largely depends on the nature of the feedstock and the relative rates of the two competing reactions, hydrogenation and cracking. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Another important role of hydrogen in the hydrocracking process is to reduce tar formation and prevent buildup of coke on the catalyst. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The decomposition of nitrogen compounds in catalytic cracking and hydrocracking processes forms ammonia and cyanides that can cause corrosion. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Shell has said some production units near the blaze were shut as a precaution, including a hydrocracking unit that helps make diesel. ❋ Unknown (2011)
The ethylene cracker is typically fed by products from the hydrocracking unit that was shut. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Forward-looking statements include Headwaters' expectations as to the managing and marketing of coal combustion products, the production and marketing of building products, the production and marketing of cleaned coal, the licensing of residue hydrocracking technology and catalyst sales to oil refineries, the availability of refined coal tax credits, the development, commercialization, and financing of new technologies and other strategic business opportunities and acquisitions, and other information about Headwaters.
The upgrader uses the OrCrude ™ process combined with commercially available hydrocracking and gasification. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Naphtha and fuel oil from the hydrocracking unit will be delivered to PETKİM for petrochemical use. ❋ Unknown (2010)
[ID: nSP350411] * Grangemouth is a moderately complex refinery equipped with both hydrocracking and catalytic cracking systems, giving it flexibility to produce gasoline and middle distillates, such as diesel, according to market demand. ❋ Unknown (2010)
