Mechanism-derived lumping techniques allow for the reduction of the complexity of kinetic networks by exploiting suitable relationships. The number of parameters needed to fully describe a complex reaction network can be strongly reduced by subdividing the chemical reactions in classes and by defining mathematical relationships between the kinetic parameters within each reaction family. Quantitative structure-reactivity correlations (QSRCs) are shown for several hydro-conversion processes:hydrocracking (HC) of Fischer-Tropsch waxes, HC of naphthalene and phenanthrene, cracking of hydrocarbons, naphtha reforming, and HC of vacuum gas oil.
