Effect of Group Composition of the Vacuum Distillate from Heavy Kazakhstan and West Siberian Oil on the Yield of Light Fractions During the Catalytic Cracking

AbstractThis paper presents the research results aimed at the assessment of the impact of the group composition of Kazakhstan and West Siberian heavy vacuum distillate on the yield and composition of the catalytic cracking products. The laboratory research was performed to determine the physical and chemical characteristics and group composition of two samples of the heavy vacuum distillate of Kazakhstan and West Siberian oil. The patterns of changing yield of wet gas, light and heavy gas oil, coke, and gasoline depending on the composition of the feedstock were established using mathematical model of catalytic cracking
