In the vacuum distillation process, the bottoms removed from the vacuum distillation tower are known as vacuum residue or vac resid which are the heaviest of the distillation cuts and often mixed with other materials. Vacuum resid's high viscosity works to its benefit when incorporated into asphalt, making this a highly valuable use.
Vacuum distillation is used to produce kerosene, which is used as a cutter stock. VGO is made utilising a vacuum distillation column and a variety of techniques, including hydrogenation and cracking, and is used as a feedstock to produce gasoil, gasoline, and other by products. The waste product of a vacuum distillation tower can also be converted into bitumen.

The comprehensive EMR report provides an in-depth assessment of the market based on the Porter's five forces model along with giving a SWOT analysis. The report gives a detailed analysis of the following key players in the Iraq vacuum bottom residue (kerosene, VGO and bitumen) market, covering their competitive landscape and latest developments like mergers, acquisitions, investments, and expansion plans.
Kerosene is a flammable hydrocarbon liquid widely used as fuel and is also known as paraffin or paraffin oil. Kerosene lamps are frequently used as a more environmentally friendly substitute for solid fuels like biomass and coal for cooking when electricity is not available. Kerosene is widely used as jet fuel for aircraft jet engines and as a fuel for lighting, cooking, and fire toys like poi. The growing use of kerosene is propelling the Iraq vacuum bottom residue (kerosene, VGO and bitumen) market.
Bitumen is frequently employed as a waterproofing material on the roofs of residential and commercial structures because of its extremely sticky and viscous character. Bituminous waterproofing is applied to prevent water leaks and seepage through the roof.
In addition, bitumen is frequently utilised as a chemical component in a variety of products, including solvents and black paints. Bitumen functions as a chemical additive that increases the effectiveness of paints and coatings and the viscosity of waterproofing substances. Chemically modified bitumen is used in road building and waterproofing as well as a candy-coated chemical component in emulsions.
Vacuum gas oil (VGO) is primarily employed as an intermediate feedstock to increase the production of gasoline and diesel at refineries. VGO is created utilising a vacuum distillation column and a variety of techniques, including hydrogenation and cracking. One of the major factors behind the growth of the vacuum gas oil industry in Iraq is the rapidly expanding petroleum sector as well as the automotive industry. The forecast for the Iraq vacuum bottom residue (kerosene, VGO and bitumen) market is anticipated to improve as a result of rising demand for fossil fuels across a variety of industries and increased efforts to produce a significant amount of oil and gas.

Kerosene is less refined and is more similar to diesel fuel. Higher temperatures won't cause it to evaporate due to which combustion is more difficult than it is with gasoline. As a result, kerosene is not used as an automobile fuel.
The substance acquired during vacuum distillation is known as vacuum residue. Vacuum distillation is the process of separating chemicals with different boiling points while lowering pressure below atmospheric pressure. Under low pressure, crude oil is distilled to produce vacuum residue, which is a solid.
Vacuum distillation residue (VR) is the by-product of crude oil distillation that contains high molecular weight PAH, asphaltene components, and waxes.
The primary applications of bitumen are road building and roofing, among others.
