Abstract

The mathematical modeling of hydrocracking reaction of petroleum fractions was carried out considering a pseudohomogeneous phase. The discrete description was used to represent the kinetic of the reactions. One
to 6 lumps of pseudocompounds with different reaction routes were used. Data from the oil hydrocarbon hydrocracking of literature were used to obtain the mathematical model parameters. Modeling more than one group or lump was done by automatic successive approach solving the system of equations starting with one lump, then two, then three, and so on, checking that the material balance is satisfied in each case. Findings showed concordance between the models and the experimental data, highlighting the use of six lumps, from whose description it is possible to determine the composition of the hydrocracking products in a detailed and reliable way.
