Hydrocracking is a specific operation that takes a fraction of petroleum called gas oil which is heavy and cracks it into smaller molecules that are suitable for incorporation into gasoline, diesel, and jet, with an emphasis on the latter two.his occurs at high temperature with a very different set of catalysts than that used in either hydrotreating or hydrogenation processes. The hydrogen is used both as a mechanism to hydrogenate olefins and as a quench for temperature control.
It is sometimes called alkathene or polythene when used for pipes. With a high strength-to-density ratio, HDPE is used in the production of plastic bottles, corrosion-resistant piping, geomembranes, and plastic lumber.t is sometimes called alkathene or polythene when used for pipes.
