Gasoline production and coke formation models are proposed for catalytic cracking of petroleum as a function of feed composition and operating conditions. Arabian Heavy Crude was distilled and the cut (650–1012°F) was obtained. This cut was fed to the Micro Confined Bed Unit (MC…

The formation of coke from reacting asphaltenes is significantly affected by both reactions with the liquid components and the solvent properties of the liquid medium. Both the kinetics and phase behavior in the cracking of asphaltenes were studied in this thesis. The kinetics o…
