ASCOTSM Asphalt Coking Technology

ASCOTSM, licensed jointly with UOP, is a combination of solvent deasphalting followed by delayed coking, in which the asphalt produced is used as feed to the delayed coker. The combination offers a unique use for asphalt and provides enhanced overall yields.

Key benefits:

  • Solvent contained in asphalt and deasphalted oil is condensed in fractionator overhead condensers
  • Solvent recovered may be used as lean oil for C3/C4 recovery in the absorber, eliminating requirement for lean oil recirculation from naphtha stabilizer
  • Slow asphalt partial pressure results in low coke and high liquid yields
