The Pristec Cold Cracking Unit

At the core of our upgrading process is the patented Pristec Cold Cracking oil upgrading unit. Essentially, it is comprised of our Carbon Cracker pump + activator and adjacent Hydrogen Exciter. The Carbon Cracker cracks carbon-carbon bonds as well as carbon-hydrogen bonds, functioning as a cracker, reformer and hydrotreater in one. The Hydrogen Exciter excites H2 molecules and provides hydrogen for the Carbon Cracker, and serves as a reformer and to saturate light ends.
