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.
