DELGADO-LINARES, José G.; DELGADO-LINARES, Gregorio A. e MERCADO-OJEDA, Ronald A.. Mass and Energy Simplified Balances Applied to a Petroleum Catalytic Cracking Process. Educ. quím [online]. 2009, vol.20, n.4, pp.456-460. ISSN 0187-893X.
The most important economic activity in Venezuela is the Petroleum's Industry. Likewise, Venezuela constitutes a high technology refining processes country, and therefore, it has facilities that should be assisted and optimized by human resources with solid technical basis. Fluid Catalytic Cracking was taken as a study case. The main processes and unit operations involved were identified, as well as feeds and products streams. By applying mass and energy conservation principles, it was possible to determine caloric requirements and products distribution.
