A processing facility is provided. The processing facility includes an asphaltenes and metals (AM) removal system configured to process a feed stream to produce a power generation stream, a hydroprocessing feed stream, and an asphaltenes stream. A power generation system is fed by the power generation feed stream. A hydroprocessing system is configured to process the hydroprocessing feed stream to form a gas stream and a liquid stream. A hydrogen production system is configured to produce hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide from the gas feed stream. A carbon dioxide conversion system is configured to produce synthetic hydrocarbons from the carbon dioxide, and a cracking system is configured to process the liquid feed stream.

The present invention discloses an integrated process scheme for producing (i) high-octane gasoline blending stream (ii) high aromatic heavy naphtha stream which is a suitable feedstock for benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) production and (iii) high cetane ultra-low sulphur diesel (ULSD) stream suitable for blending in refinery diesel pool.

A method is described for treating a hydrocarbon oil feedstream to a delayed coking unit to maximize the ratio of the yield of liquids-to-gases, and to minimize the formation of coke which includes: a. mixing an oil-soluble catalyst with the hydrocarbon oil feedstream to produce a uniform mixture; b. contacting the catalyst-containing hydrocarbon oil feedstream with an excess of hydrogen under predetermined conditions that are favorable to maximizing the solubility of the hydrogen in the feedstream in a hydrogen distribution zone that is upstream of the coking unit; c. introducing the feedstream containing the solubilized catalyst and dissolved hydrogen, and the excess hydrogen gas into a flashing zone; d. recovering from the flashing zone a hydrogen gas stream and a single-phase hydrocarbon oil feedstream containing dissolved hydrogen and catalyst; e. maintaining the hydrocarbon oil feedstream containing dissolved hydrogen and catalyst under single-phase conditions to promote the reaction of the dissolved hydrogen with free radicals formed in the feedstream and to promote the catalyzed hydrodesulfurization of any sulfur-containing compounds present in the feedstream; f. introducing the catalyst-containing feedstream into a coking furnace upstream of the coking unit to heat the feedstream to a predetermined coking temperature; g. introducing the hot feedstream into the coking unit; and h. recovering a coking unit product stream that is free of catalyst and forming a coke product that contains the catalyst.

The invention is an integrated process for treating residual oil of a hydrocarbon feedstock. The oil is first subjected to delayed coking and then oxidative desulfurization. Additional, optional steps including hydrodesulfurization, and hydrocracking, may also be incorporated in to the integrated process.

The present invention relates to a novel process with lower recycle ratio while eliminating the need for quench column for production of superior quality coke conforming to specifications of anode grade coke. The process of the present invention enables production of lower amounts of coke and fuel oil yields.

High-quality graphite/needle grade coke is produced with reduced impurity levels and improved coefficient of thermal expansion using an integrated hydrotreatment, catalytic cracking and coking reaction sections, employing a combination of highly paraffinic hydrotreated VGO stream and aromatic CLO stream, which is thereafter processed in a delayed coking section.

A method of mitigating fouling in a delayed coking unit heater may include forming a plastic mixture including a plastic material and a carrier. The plastic mixture may be combined with a coker feedstock upstream of a coke drum.

A method is provided for reducing foaming within a coke drum of a delayed coking unit. The method may include forming a plastic mixture including a plastic material and a carrier. The method may also include injecting the plastic mixture into the coke drum during operation of the coke drum.

The present invention is directed to metallocene catalyzed oligomerization of olefin feed stock without fractionation of alkane and olefin.

Processes for the production of coke, and one or more volatile products comprise the steps of: (i) providing a purified coal product (PCP), wherein the PCP is in particulate form, and wherein at least about 90% v of the particles are no greater than about 100 μm in diameter; wherein the PCP has an ash content of less than about 10% m and a water content of less than around 5% m; (ii) combining the PCP with a liquid residue oil to create a combined solid-liquid blend, wherein the solid-liquid blend comprises at least around 0.1% m and at most around 30% m PCP; (iii) subjecting the solid-liquid blend to a temperature in excess of 375° C. for a time period sufficient to induce cracking of at least 1% of the PCP particles to generate the one or more volatile products, and (iv) producing coke from the product of step (iii).
