Catalytic cracking of nyamplung oils was performed over ZSM-5 catalyst. This process is carried out in a packed bed reactor which is equipped with two-stage preheater to convert the nyamplung oil into vapor form. The reaction was studied in the temperature range of 350-450°C and reactor length of 2-5 cm. The kinetic study of catalytic cracking of nyamplung oil is represented using lumped parameter model based on 5-lumps modelwhich is modified from 4 and 6 model. This model was developed by classified the reactant and product into five-lumps, namely C4-C11, C12-C15, C16-C18, gas and coke. The simulated data which obtained from the model gave satisfactory results with the experimental data. © 2006-2016 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).
