- 1FCCU primarily converts light naphtha to diesel, while hydrocracking converts diesel to lighter gases.
- 2Hydrocracking is an endothermic process, whereas FCCU is exothermic due to the presence of hydrogen.
- 3Both processes use similar catalysts but differ only in operating temperature and pressure.
- 4FCCU operates in the absence of hydrogen, while hydrocracking is carried out in the presence of hydrogen.✓
Correct answer
FCCU operates in the absence of hydrogen, while hydrocracking is carried out in the presence of hydrogen.
