Abstract
A PAPER on “Recent Development in the Art of Cracking,” by A. E. Dunstan and R. Pilkethley, was read before “the Institution of Petroleum Technologists on October 7. The object of “cracking “is to Obtain a lighter constituent from hydrocarbon oils by temperature treatment, under suitable conditions. During the last few years there has been little advance in our knowledge of cracking from the chemical point of view, and most of the problems connected with it have been more of an engineering quality. Very little work has been done on the examination of the residues left after the cracked gasoline has been removed from the synthetic crude oil.
