A Brief Review of Lumped Kinetic Modeling of the Hydrocracking Process

Hydrocracking is a refinery process in which a high-boiling, high-density feedstock is converted into lighter products with lower boiling points and viscosities. Catalytic hydrocracking is one of the best sources for producing high-quality diesel and high-smoke point jet fuel. Many molecular components are involved in complex chemical processes such as hydrocracking, and the kinetic study of these processes is complex. A practical solution to this challenge is to divide these components into some homogeneous classes and consider each class a unified lump. This approach to reducing the complexity of kinetic modeling allows the study and modeling of the hydrocracking process with acceptable accuracy. This study briefly reviews studies that have modeled the kinetics of the hydrocracking process in a lump method.
