Dear friends

I have one fundamental question which iam not aware of. Kindly provide me your valuable answers

Both hydrocracking and FCC cracking is catalytic cracking which needs energy to break the large hydrocarbon molecule. Whereas Hydrocracking is highly exothermic in contrast to FCC which is endothermic. What makes this difference???/

Arun,

I have a blog entry with the title "The Process & Technology of Cracking" at the link below which describes both hydrocracking & FCC in the attachment with the blog.

Hi !

Ankur Great job.... Kudos for the time & effort for making a quality document !

Arun , for a quick understanding

Give it a thought

FCC -Cracking is Carbon Rejection Process C-C Cleavge
Hydrocracking -Here it is a Hydrogen addition Process C-H addition along with cracking

Fundamental reactions are different !

Getting deep you will realize that a Cracking process may be exo or endo because of side Rxns happening in the same reactor...
