In the highly competitive oil refining industry, enhancing processing efficiency and improving product quality are critical objectives. Achieving these goals relies on the design, development, and implementation of advanced hydroprocessing techniques such as hydrocracking and hydrotreating. These processes are integral to both petrochemical and refining operations, as their core components and equipment include catalytic cracking reactors and separation columns. The primary purpose of these units is to convert heavy petroleum feedstocks, such as vacuum gas oil (VGO) or heavy naphtha, into lighter fractions like gasoline and diesel. However, doing related studies necessitates sophisticated...
