In the fifth of the 10-part series, Catalytic Cracking/Alkylation, Dr. Leffler outlines the cat cracking process and explains how it takes straight run heavy oils and cracks them into smaller, more valuable molecules. Dr. Leffler then outlines alkylation, and how the process takes various low value products and combines them to create a valuable blending stock.
