VSBP Process Engineering And Equipment Mart Private Limited

Vacuum Distillation Unit (VDU)

Unlocking Value from the Bottom of the Barrel

At VSBP Process Engineering & Equipment Mart Pvt Ltd, we engineer and deliver high-performance Vacuum Distillation Units (VDUs) that extend the capabilities of your refinery beyond atmospheric distillation.

Our VDUs are designed to efficiently recover valuable gas oils and reduce atmospheric residue, enabling deeper conversion through downstream processes like hydrocracking, visbreaking, or coking. From grassroots installations to capacity expansions and debottlenecking, we offer tailored solutions built on process excellence and operational reliability.

What is a Vacuum Distillation Unit?

A VDU processes atmospheric residue under reduced pressure, lowering boiling points to prevent thermal cracking while separating heavy fractions into:

Light Vacuum Gas Oil (LVGO)
Heavy Vacuum Gas Oil (HVGO)
Vacuum Residue (VR)

These outputs feed into conversion units that turn low-value residues into premium fuels and petrochemical precursors.

Our VDU Solutions

Conventional VDU Designs – Optimized for high throughput, product purity, and minimized energy use.
High-Efficiency Column Internals – Structured packing or high-capacity trays for superior fractionation and pressure drop control.
Short-Pipe & Slop-Wax Draw Systems – Engineered for handling heat-sensitive heavy hydrocarbons.
Integrated Heater and Ejector Systems – Custom-designed vacuum furnaces and ejectors for efficient vaporization and pressure control.
