Visbreaking

Foster Wheeler and UOP offer the coil visbreaker design in which the desired conversion and viscosity reduction is achieved within a dedicated soaking coil in the furnace. In addition, we have engineered a number of soaker type visbreakers in which the majority of conversion reactions take place over a longer residence time in a soaker drum.

Since 1990, Foster Wheeler and UOP have designed and licensed more than 50 visbreakers.

Key benefits:

  • High sulphur fuel oil reduction
  • Reduces distillate cutter stock requirements, hence distillate available for more valuable transportation fuels
  • Low cost upgrading
