Computational Determination of Conditions for the Vacuum Gas Oil Oxycracking Process

Resumo

The main physical and chemical factors affecting the oxidative catalytic cracking (oxycracking) of vacuum gas oil, such as oxidant concentration, phlegmatizer, and temperature and partial pressure of hydrocarbon feedstock, as well as reaction space features have been considered to determine the safe mode of the process. Parameters that allow the vacuum gas oil oxycracking process to be carried out in the optimal autothermal mode have been established. The results of calculation of the explosive concentration limits for vacuum gas oil and oxygen are presented.
