| Description |
The scarcity of light ends and to meet the
stringent fuel oil specifications, visbreaker
units are often forced to process a blend of
two or more residues. For such feeds, the
extent of conversion and product properties
depends not only on the operating conditions
but alsoonthe parentfeedcharacteristics.
In the present work visbreaking
studies using two types of vacuum residues
namely, Bombay High Short Residue (BHSR)
and Arab Mix Short Residue (AMSR) and their
blend (Mixed feed) were performed on a pilot
plant. The produced visbreaker fractions Le.
gas (C1-C4),distillates (IBP-150, 150-350, 350-
500°C) and residues (150, 350, 500 °C+)were
quantified and characterized in detail including
stability of 150 °C+ fuel oil samples. The
conversion (150 °Cl, pour point and viscosity
reduction were found be higher in the case of
AMSR as compared to BHSR. While
visbreaking of their blend has resulted in
significant reduction in pour point and viscosity
thus, saving the quantities of cutterstock
required to meet the necessary fuel oil
specifications.
