Visbreaking
Axens Visbreaking Technology is a commercially proven process with over 25 commercial references. It consists of mild thermal cracking applied to residues (Visbreaking mode (VB)) or heavy VGO or DAO (Thermal Cracking mode (TC)).
The objective is to reduce the feed viscosity for stable fuel oil usage, and produce the maximum quantity of cracked distillates. Axens soaker visbreaking technology displays several advantages over ‘standard’ visbreakers; the principal being that it delivers higher-value products. They are all oriented towards higher economics.
The technology may be applied to:
- Atmospheric or Vacuum Residues (VB mode)
- Vacuum Residues (VB mode)
- Vacuum Gas-oils (TC mode with or without recycle)
