Shukhov cracking process
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shukhov cracking process is a thermal cracking process invented by Vladimir Shukhov and Sergei Gavrilov. Shukhov designed and built first thermal cracking techniques important to petrochemical industry. His patent (Shukhov cracking process - patent of Russian empire No. 12926 from November, 27th, 1891) on cracking were used to invalidate Standard Oil's patents (Burton process – Patent of USA No. 1,049,667 on January 7, 1913) on oil refineries. In 1937 it was superseded by catalytic cracking. It is still in use today to produce diesel.
