The main use of heavy gas oil produced by the vacuum distillation unit is as a_____________________?
Correct answer: D. Feedstock for fluid catalytic cracking unit
- A. Blending component for kerosene
- B. Blending component for petrol
- C. None of these
- D. Feedstock for fluid catalytic cracking unit
