TECHNOLOGY: Visbreaking of Petroleum Residual Fractions (Soaker Mode)

  • Fuel-oil with reduced viscosity, pour point & improved stability
  • Upgrading of residual fractions

APPLICATIONS:

  • The process has been developed jointly with
    EIL and licensed to seven refineries in the country
    with total licensed capacity of 7.2 MMTPA

TECHNOLOGY STATUS:  
  • Soaker visbreaking requires smaller furnace
    and less waste heat recovery equipment leading
    to a capital saving of 10-15 percent
  • Fuel consumption in case of soaker visbreaking
    is approx 15 percent ower than that for coil visbreaking
  • Increased cycle length
SALIENT FEATURES:
  • To upgrade soaker visbreaking technology by providing internals in soaker drum
