Abstract (en)

A method and apparatus for the thermal treatment of heavy fuel oil. Hot vacuum residue (19) from a vacuum distillation unit (18) is fed directly to burners (36) to raise stream to generate electricity in a generator (39). A gas oil stream (20) is withdrawn from the distillation unit and subjected to mild thermal cracking conditions in a heater (24) which cracks a portion of the waxes which tend to concentrate in the heavier gas oil fractions. The heated stream is mixed with the feedstock inlet stream (16) and so serves to provide the heat energy necessary to operate the distillation unit.
