AM-02-06 DELAYED COKER DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS AND PROJECT EXECUTION

Description:

This paper presents important insights into the key considerations for residue upgrading via Lummus Delayed Coking Technology. In particular, the design considerations and project execution are discussed. As crude runs have and will tend to change in both quality and residue content, many refiners have chosen to convert the bottoms by coking and then upgrade the distillates as required. Delayed cokers must have a design that provides the appropriate flexibility. Delayed coking technology has undergone vast improvements in the areas of safety, environment, coke handling and disposal, distillate product maximization and design flexibility. Effective project execution is key to successful fast track, on schedule and within budget coker projects
