Industrial Cracking

Meeting demand through cracking

• The process of refining crude oil by fractional distillation yields varying amounts of hydrocarbons. This produces larger quantities of long-chain hydrocarbon like bitumen and smaller quantities of short-chain hydrocarbons like petrol, diesel and naphtha

• There is a higher demand for short-chain hydrocarbons than longer-chain ones. This is because they are more efficient fuels and serve as crucial chemical feedstocks for producing in deman dconsumer products
