Abstract
An attempt has been made to increase the fuel oil yield of two Iraqi residues using a soaker visbreaking process. This was carried out in a continuous laboratory scale unit at a range of mild conditions, namely, A20–A8O°C and A3-109 sec. in the coil and 151–379 sec. in the soaker. Physical properties of the products have been characterized and reported. The fuel oils obtained under the studied conditions remained stable compared with the original feedstocks. Furthermore, data on yield and characteristics of the different distillates from the visbroken products have been obtained. There was an increase in the distillates up to 350°C (11%) for type A residue and (15%) for type B residue.
