    The document summarizes visbreaking and coking processes. Visbreaking is a mild cracking process that reduces the viscosity of vacuum residue to produce fuel oil and light products. It occurs at temperatures of 450-500°C and converts 10-25% of the feedstock. Coking involves total conversion of vacuum residue to gas, distillates and coke at high temperatures. There are three main coking processes - delayed coking, fluid coking and flexi-coking, which differ in operating temperatures and whether the cracking occurs in a drum or fluidized bed.

    VISBREAKING

    Visbreaking is a mild thermal cracking pr


    ocess applied to reduce the viscosity of
    VDR to produce fuel oil and some light p
    roducts to increase the distillate yield in
    a refinery.
    VISBREAKING

    Depending on the feedstock properties a


    nd thermal severity in the reactor, the pr
    ocess will typically achieve 10–25% of co
    nversion of the heavy ends to gas, gasoli
    ne, and distillates while producing fuel oi
    l with the desired specifications.
    • The principal objective of visbreaking is to r
    educe viscosity, some refineries may use thi
    s mild cracking process to convert fuel oil in
    to lighter distillates.
    VISBREAKING

    • The principal reactions which occur during the Visbreaking


    are:
     Cracking of the side chains attached to Cyclo-paraffin and
    aromatic rings.
     Cracking of resins to light hydrocarbons (primarily olefins)
     Some cracking of Naphthene rings under higher temperat
    ures of operation (500oC).
    VISBREAKING TYPES

    1
    Coil Cracking uses higher furnace outlet te
    mperatures of around 500oC. It uses a react
    ion time of one to three minutes. All the cra
    cking takes place in a dedicated portion of t
    he coil in the furnace itself. Due to high tem
    perature of operation and avoidance of soa
    ker drum, it offers the advantage of greater
    ease of operation. The cracked products are
    separated by fractionation

    Soaker Cracking is a similar process b


    ut uses lower furnace outlet temperatu
    res of around 450oC and reaction time
    s of over five minutes. In this case som
    e conversion takes place at the furnace
    coil but major part of conversion takes
    place at the soaker drum after the furn

    COKING

    Despite the development of catalytic cracking


    processes, coking processes have survived as a
    popular refining process all over the world to r
    efine the heavy end of crudes or heavy oils thr
    ough carbon rejection as coke. Coking is the m
    ost severe thermal process used in the refinery
    to treat the very bottom-of-the-barrel of crude
    oil, i.e., vacuum residue.
    COKING

    Because of the high severity of thermal crackin


    g during coking, the residue feed is completely
    converted to gas, light and medium distillates,
    and coke with no production of residual oil.

    Delayed Coking
    The common objective of the
    three coking processes is to 2

    maximize the yield of distillat Fluid Coking

    ecting large quantities of carb
    Flexi-Coking
    on in the residue as solid coke
    , known as petroleum coke.
    DELAYED COKING

    A continuous thermal cracking proce


    ss which generates coke and produc
    es various distillates in fractionator f
    rom vacuum residue. Coke drum tem
    perature remains around 415C - 450
    C.
    FLUID COKING

    A continuous coking process where r


    esidue is sprayed on to fluidised bed
    of hot coke particles. Here cracking t
    akes place at much higher temperatu
    re than delayed coking (Temperature
    up to 365C).
    FLUID AND FLEXI COKING:

    Fluid coking and flexi-coking are fluid-bed proces


    ses developed from the basic principles of FCC, w
    ith close integration of endothermic (cracking, co
    king, or gasification) and exothermic (coke burnin
    g) reactions.
