Organic compound with benzene like structure
Catalytic reforming
A process for converting gasoline molecules faction into aromatic molecules
Fractionation
A process in which the components of crude oil are physically separated by their boiling points
Hydrocracking
Process involving combination of catylic cracking and hydrogenation
Hydrogenation
Addition reaction in which hydrogen is added to an unsaturated hydrocarbon to reduce number of multiple bonds
