  1. hydrocracking

    Hydrocracking is a chemical process used in petroleum refineries for converting the high-boiling constituent hydrocarbons in petroleum crude oils to more valuable lower-boiling products such as gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel, and diesel oil. The process essentially involves breaking down the heavier, long-chain hydrocarbons into lighter and shorter ones in the presence of hydrogen under high pressure and temperature, facilitated by a catalyst.
