Vacuum Distillation Process Overview by Prashanth Chidambaram is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Vacuum distillation is used to recover more distillates from atmospheric residue by operating the distillation column at reduced pressures and higher temperatures compared to atmospheric distillation. The purposes of vacuum distillation are to produce vacuum gas oils, vacuum residue, slop wax, and incondensable gases from the feedstock. Key operating variables that affect the process include the level of vacuum, outlet temperature of the vacuum heater, and flow rate of stripping steam into the bottom of the
