Abstract
A method and apparatus are for refining hydrocarbons. The method includes treating feedstock hydrocarbons at a low temperature with electromagnetic (EM) energy for vaporizing selected hydrocarbons. The selected hydrocarbons are vaporized at temperatures below reference vaporization temperatures of at least a portion of the species included within the selected hydrocarbons. The vaporized hydrocarbons may be condensed from the vapor phase for recovery. A remaining secondary product may include a higher viscosity hydrocarbon product with a greater viscosity than the feedstock hydrocarbons, such as a hardened bitumen that is substantially solid at ambient temperature.
