Heavy oil refining lines

Alexandria Engineering Industries designs and manufactures advanced heavy oil refining lines engineered to process high-viscosity, high-sulfur, and high-contaminant feedstocks—such as vacuum residue, bitumen, bunker fuel, crude oil sludge, and heavy crude—into valuable, usable products like light fuel oil, diesel-range hydrocarbons, or feedstock for further upgrading.

These systems are ideal for oil recovery operations, marine fuel treatment, refinery pre-treatment units, and industrial energy plants seeking to convert low-value heavy oils into cleaner, combustible fuels while complying with environmental regulations.

Key Challenges Addressed

• Extremely high viscosity (up to 10,000+ cSt)
• High sulfur, asphaltene, and metal content (Ni, V)
• Significant water, sediment, and sludge contamination
• Poor combustion properties and instability
