“…A case study demonstrates the application and usefulness of these ideas, emphasizing their importance for industrial settings. The report from Alonso et al extensively characterizes two refinery streams, light cycle oil, and light coker gas oil, for their potential in hydrotreatment to produce commercial diesel, compared to typical straight-run gas oil feedstocks. The implications on hydrogen consumption, reactor conditions, temperature rise, and catalyst selection, which are crucial for process optimization in diesel production, are discussed.…”
