1 HYDROCRACKER UNIT 3000 The hydrocracker unit processes a waxy distillate from High Vacuum Unit 2000 to produce lighter distillates and fuel gas. The hydrocracker capacity is a catalytic process that employs a two-stage reactor system lined up in a series flow-type operation. Due to two reactor trains operating in parallel are re!uired to which is optimi"e e!uipment si"e. The process consumes hydrogen supplied #y dedicated Hydrogen $anufacturing Unit %000. The hydrocracking catalyst is sensiti&e to the presence of organically #ound nitrogen compounds in the feed. The o#'ecti&e of the first reaction stage is to o#tain essentially nitrogen-free hydrocar#ons as feed to the second with reactor.
