Patent ·
OSTI ID:6915753
This patent describes a process for producing a lower sulfur coke and higher sulfur coke from a single feedstock. It comprises: catalytically hydrotreating a virgin heavy oil having an API gravity of from about {minus}5 to about 25 and an initial boiling point of from about 550{degrees}F to bout 1,000{degrees}F to reduce the sulfur content of the hydrotreated product to not more than about 0.75 weight percent, separating the hydrotreated product into a heavy fraction and a light fraction, separately subjecting each fraction to delayed coking, calcining the resulting green coke products to obtain from the coked light fraction a low sulfur calcined coke, and from the coked heavy fraction a higher sulfur calcined coke.
