Preferred Label : hydrocracking unit;
IUPAC definition : Used in the thermal decomposition of heavy (high molecular weight) hydrocarbons to
smaller (low molecular weight) hydrocarbons; high pressures of hydrogen and a special
catalyst are employed. Sulfur compounds in the fuel are reduced to H sub 2 /sub S,
and the final hydrocarbon product can be obtained relatively sulfur-free.;
