    Hydrocracking is a refining process that uses hydrogen gas and a catalyst under heat and pressure to convert heavy gas oils and distillates into lighter products like naphtha, kerosene, and diesel. During this process, sulfur and nitrogen are removed from the feedstock through reactions with hydrogen that produce hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, both of which are then separated out, leaving behind desulfurized and denitrified hydrocarbon products.

    Hydrocracking Processes

    Distillate hydrocracking is a refining process for conversion of heavy


    gas oils and heavy diesels or similar boiling-range heavy distillates into
    light distillates (naphtha, kerosene, diesel, etc.) or base stocks for lubri-
    cating oil manufacture. The process consists of causing feed to react with
    hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst under specified operating condi-
    tions: temperature, pressure, and space velocity.

    HYDROCRACKING REACTIONS

    DESULFURIZATION

    The feedstock is desulfurized by the hydrogenation of the sulfur con-


    taining compounds to form hydrocarbon and hydrogen sulfide. The H2S is
    removed from the reactor effluent leaving only the hydrocarbon product.
    The heat of reaction for desulfurization is about 60 Btu/scf of hydrogen
    consumed:

    CATALYST

    Thiophene Paraffin Hydrogen Sulphide

    DENITRIFICATION

    Nitrogen is removed from feedstock by the hydrogenation of nitrogen-


    containing compounds to form ammonia and hydrocarbons. Ammonia is
    later removed from the reactor effluent, leaving only the hydrocarbons in
    the product. The heat of reaction of the denitrification reactions is about
