Zeolite Y HY Cracking catalyst Hydrogen

Zeolite Y is used as a cracking catalyst in oil refineries. In catalytic cracking plants, high-boiling fractions of crude oil, such as naphtha, are converted into more valuable gasoline, diesel, and other products. In the petrochemical industry, it is used in its acidic form, HY, to increase the yield of gasoline and diesel fuel from crude oil by cracking heavy paraffins into gasoline-like naphthas.
It is also used in hydrocracking plants as a platinum/palladium support to increase the aromatic content of reformulated refinery products.
