Visbreaking Unit (VBU)
Visbreaking is a mild, non-catalytical thermal cracking process, employed to treat high-viscosity products particularly vacuum residue, to produce lower-viscosity fractions. It’s important not to confuse Visbreaking with Thermal Cracking, which usually involves processing atmospheric residue at higher temperatures than Visbreaking, thereby intensifying cracking reactions.
