VisbreakingPurpose
Cut viscosity in frac12 of feed (specs for heavy fuel oil)
Reduces cutter stockldquo
Reduces heavy fuel oil amount
Characteristics
Relatively mild thermal cracking operation
Flexible on feedstock quality
Typically high resin crude oils
Low capital cost for process
Products ~20 feed cracked to light ends
naphtha gas oil amp distillate
Products contain a lot of olefinsbull Olefinic C3s amp C4s often recovered
bull Naphtha amp distillate often hydrotreated because of olefins amp sulfur
Gas oil high in aromatics mdash more appropriate for hydrocracking than cat cracking
Large volumes of heavy fuel oil with high sulfur content
Bottoms (visbreaker tar) sent directly to heavy fuel oil
