condensing an atmospheric hydrocarbon stream to a liquid using a steam generator (469) and a circulating liquid stream (461a) as heat sinks and condensing a vacuum distillable hydrocarbon stream using the steam generator (469), wherein the atmospheric hydrocarbon stream and the vacuum distillable hydrocarbon stream were separated from a hydrocarbon feed stream (401); and

cooling the condensed vacuum distillable hydrocarbon stream thereby making a by-product (477).
