Oil Cuts Evaluation Obtained by Molecular Distillation from Heavy Petroleum Fractions in the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Process
Abstract: Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is a refining process that cracks heavy oil molecules in light fractions, mainly compounds with 3 to 12 carbon atoms. It is composed by a converter, main fractionator and gas plant. In this work FCC was modeled using Aspen HYSYS Cat cracker process simulator aiming to evaluate the true boiling point (TBP) curves of oil cuts obtained by falling film molecular distillation from a Brazilian atmospheric …
