Syngas Production from Vacuum Residue

This report provides an exhaustive cost analysis of syngas production from the Vacuum residue. This process involves producing syngas from vacuum residue, which is a product settled at the bottom during the vacuum distillation of crude oil (vacuum distillation is a subtype of fractional distillation where the process occurs under reduced pressure, which is particularly useful for separating heavier fractions of crude oil at lower temperatures to prevent thermal degradation.). In the non-catalytic partial oxidation process, vacuum residue is partially combusted with oxygen in a high-temperature environment without the use of catalysts. This results in the production of syngas, which typically requires further purification due to the presence of impurities and soot from the heavy feedstock.
