ABSTRACT
Hydrocracking is a refining technology that, like hydrotreating (Chapter 21), also falls under the general umbrella of hydroprocessing. The outcome is the conversion of a variety of feedstocks to a range of products, and units to accomplish this goal can be found at various points in a refinery (Dolbear, 1998; Billon and Bigeard, 2001; Speight and Ozum, 2002; Hsu and Robinson, 2006; Gary et al., 2007; Liu et al., 2009; Speight, 2011).
