Delayed Coking

In today's environment, refiners recognize the need for delayed coking to keep pace with the growing demand for transportation fuels, more stringent legislation and the opportunity for significant improvement in refinery profit margins.

Delayed coking is a cyclic process that thermally cracks vacuum residue or other residue feedstocks into gas, light products and petroleum coke, and is a key technology for residue upgrading or zero fuel oil production. While this is a mature process, we continue to make improvements in key areas such as operability, safety and reliability.

Foster Wheeler offers SYDECSM (Selective Yield Delayed Coking) under license. For more information, download our delayed coking brochure. With over 25 revamps designed in the last 10 years, and over 20 new units designed in the last 5 years, over 2.5 million BPSD have been installed using our technology.

Key benefits:

  • Refiners can process heavier, cheaper crudes to increase refinery margins

  • Converts low-value residues to high-value fuels with moderate capital investment

  • Easy integration into existing refinery

  • Safe, reliable and well-proven technology, meeting all regulatory requirements
