Regularities of Initiated Goudron Cracking in a Flow Reactor

Abstract

Experimental findings concerning the efficiency of the Moscow refinery process for thermal-oxidative cracking in goudron processing are given. It was shown that combining both the processes of partial oxidation of feedstock with oxygen and the cracking, the high degree of goudron conversion to motor distillates and other marketable products was attained without hydrogen. Optimum conditions for initiated cracking were found when motor fractions and road tar or furnace fuel oil were obtained simultaneously under continuous conditions.
