Visbreaking unit with capacity of 2,4 million tons of feed a year was designed, constructed and utilized to process high-viscosity tars producedat JSC TANEKO Oil Refinery from Devonian and carboxylic oils of Tatarstan Republic. Technical solutions providing more than 20 times feed viscosity decrease are used at the unit. Products of the unit are fuel gas, hydrogen sulfide, naphtha and cracking residue meeting themain requirements of fuel oil. Realization of this technology allowed reaching oil refining efficiency at the refinery equal 72%.
Results
Note that during the visbreaking unit occurs pracmatic decrease in the viscosity of raw materials 20.6 times it testifies to the high efficiency process, and is consistent with the data pilot experiments [4].
Сonclusions
Realization of this technology allowed reaching oil refining efficiency at the refinery equal 72%.
