Abstract

In oil refineries, cracking process is an important process for upgrading the raw crude oil into higher quality product that can be used by the consumer. The refining process start from crude distillation unit (CDU), then vacuum distillation unit (VDU) for further product yield. The effluent of VDU is called vacuum residue which can later be upgraded by hydrocracking. In this case thermal cracking is favored than catalytic cracking due to impurities. The work presents the development of a binary reaction kinetic model for Eureka process, a type of thermal cracking chosen for further studies in its kinetics due to potential enhancement to yield more useful product recovery.
