Abstract
A reactor process added to a coking process to modify the quantity or yield of a coking process product and/or modify certain characteristics or properties of coking process products.
Claims20
A delayed coking system comprising:
- a heater section adapted to heat a combined delayed coking system feed and recycle to temperatures exceeding 900 degrees Fahrenheit;
- a coke drum section in association with said heater section, said coke drum section adapted to delay coking of heavy hydrocarbons and crack heavy hydrocarbons to light hydrocarbon vapors;
- a fractionation section in association with said coke drum section, said fractionation system adapted to separate said vapors into useful products;
- and
- a chemical reactor system adapted to control temperature, pressure, and flow rate in a manner adapted to facilitate further chemical reactions of a coker process stream and return a product stream to said fractionation system;
- wherein said delayed coking system is adapted to facilitate additional chemical reactions that cause a favorable modification of a quantity, a yield characteristic, a quality, or a property of a resulting product.
A system comprising a reactor system in association with a coking system to promote a reactor process, said reactor system comprising a reactor vessel and associated equipment adapted to facilitate chemical reactions of a process stream from a coking process and return products of said reactor process to said coking process to cause a modification of a quantity, a yield characteristic, a quality, or a property of a product resulting from said coking process.
