Delayed Coking Process For Producing Free-Flowing Coke Using A Metals-Containing Additive

US Patent:
7303664, Dec 4, 2007
Filed:
May 14, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/846034
Inventors:
Michael Siskin - Randolph NJ, US
Christopher P. Eppig - Vienna VA, US
Martin L. Gorbaty - Westfield NJ, US
Leo D. Brown - Baton Rouge LA, US
Simon R. Kelemen - Annandale NJ, US
David T. Ferrughelli - Flemington NJ, US
Fritz A. Bernatz - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company - Annandale NJ
International Classification:
C10G 9/14
US Classification:
208131
Abstract:
A delayed coking process for making substantially free-flowing coke, preferably shot coke. A coker feedstock, such as a vacuum residuum, is heated in a heating zone to coking temperatures then conducted to a coking zone wherein volatiles are collected overhead and coke is formed. A metals-containing additive is added to the feedstock prior to it being heated in the heating zone, prior to its being conducted to the coking zone, or both.

Delayed Coking Process For Producing Free-Flowing Coke Using A Substantially Metals-Free Additive

US Patent:
7306713, Dec 11, 2007
Filed:
May 14, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/846033
Inventors:
Michael Siskin - Randolph NJ, US
Martin L. Gorbaty - Westfield NJ, US
Christopher P. Eppig - Vienna VA, US
David T. Ferrughelli - Flemington NJ, US
Simon R. Kelemen - Annandale NJ, US
Leo D. Brown - Baton Rouge LA, US
Assignee:
ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company - Annandale NJ
International Classification:
C10G 9/14
US Classification:
208131
Abstract:
A delayed coking process for making substantially free-flowing shot coke. A coker feedstock, such as a vacuum residuum, is treated with an additive, such as a elemental sulfur, high surface area substantially metals-free solids, process fines, a mineral acid anhydride and the like. The treated feedstock is then heated to coking temperatures and passed to a coker drum for a time sufficient to allow volatiles to evolve and to produce a substantially free-flowing shot coke.

Blending Of Resid Feedstocks To Produce A Coke That Is Easier To Remove From A Coker Drum

US Patent:
7374665, May 20, 2008
Filed:
May 12, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/127735
Inventors:
Christopher P. Eppig - Vienna VA, US
Michael Siskin - Randolph NJ, US
Fritz A. Bernatz - Houston TX, US
Charles J. Mart - Baton Rouge LA, US
Assignee:
ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company - Annandale NJ
International Classification:
C10G 9/14
US Classification:
208131, 208 14, 208 21, 208 28, 208 40
Abstract:
A method of blending delayed coker feedstocks to produce a coke that is easier to remove from a coker drum. A first feedstock is selected having less than about 250 wppm dispersed metals content and greater than about 5. 24 API gravity. A second delayed coker feedstock is blended with said first resid feedstock so that the total dispersed metals content of the blend will be greater than about 250 wppm and the API gravity will be less than about 5. 24.

Christopher P. Eppig - Vienna VA, US
Douglas W. Hissong - Cypress TX, US
Robert C. Welch - Baton Rouge LA, US
Assignee:
ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company - Annadale NJ
International Classification:
C10L 1/00
C10G 17/06
C10G 35/06
C10M 171/00
C10C 3/00
C10G 47/00
US Classification:
208107, 208136, 208224, 208 12, 208 22, 208 14
Abstract:
A method for upgrading heavy oils by contacting the heavy oil with an inhibitor additive and then thermally treating the inhibitor additized heavy oil. The invention also relates to the upgraded product from the inhibitor enhanced thermal treatment process.

Delayed Coking Process For Producing Free-Flowing Coke Using Low Molecular Weight Aromatic Additives

US Patent:
7645375, Jan 12, 2010
Filed:
May 12, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/127821
Inventors:
Ramesh Varadaraj - Flemington NJ, US
Michael Siskin - Randolph NJ, US
Leo D. Brown - Baton Rouge LA, US
Christopher P. Eppig - Vienna VA, US
Cornelius H. Brons - Easton PA, US
Assignee:
ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company - Annandale NJ
International Classification:
C10G 9/14
US Classification:
208131, 208 50
Abstract:
A delayed coking process for making substantially free-flowing coke, preferably shot coke. A coker feedstock, such as a vacuum residuum, is heated in a heating zone to coking temperatures then conducted to a coking zone wherein volatiles are collected overhead and coke is formed. A low molecular weight additive is added to the feedstock prior to it being heated in the heating zone, prior to its being conducted to the coking zone, or both.

Production And Removal Of Free-Flowing Coke From Delayed Coker Drum

US Patent:
7727382, Jun 1, 2010
Filed:
May 13, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/129248
Inventors:
Steven W. Sparks - Wenonah NJ, US
Te-Hung Chen - McLean VA, US
Christopher P. Eppig - Vienna VA, US
Michael Siskin - Randolph NJ, US
Assignee:
ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company - Annandale NJ
International Classification:
C10G 9/14
US Classification:
208131
Abstract:
A method for producing and removing coke which has bulk morphology such that at least about 30 volume percent is free-flowing under the force of gravity or hydrostatic forces from a delayed coker drum. At the completion of the fill cycle, the coker drum, filled with hot coke, is cooled by steaming and then flooding it with water, thereby producing a coke/water mixture. The coke/water mixture is released from the coke drum through one or more drum closure/discharge throttling systems near the bottom of the coker drum.

Coker Feed Method And Apparatus

US Patent:
7736470, Jun 15, 2010
Filed:
Mar 12, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/716634
Inventors:
Te-Hung Chen - Vienna VA, US
Christopher P. Eppig - Vienna VA, US
Timothy M. Healy - Centreville VA, US
Scott F. Massenzio - Houston TX, US
Robert W. Mosley - Beaumont TX, US
Rutton D. Patel - Arlington VA, US
Assignee:
ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company - Annandale NJ
International Classification:
C10B 57/04
US Classification:
201 25, 201 28, 208131, 202239
Abstract:
Described herein are methods and mechanisms for laterally dispensing fluid to a coke drum in a predictable and maintainable manner that alleviates thermal stress. In one embodiment, the methods and mechanisms utilize a split piping system to dispense fluid through two or more inlets into a spool that is connected to a coke drum and a coke drum bottom deheader valve. A combination of block valves and clean out ports provides a more effective means to clean the lines and allows fluid to be laterally dispensed in a controllable and predictable manner. The fluid is preferably introduced to the spool in opposing directions toward a central vertical axis of the spool at equal but opposing angles ranging from minus thirty (−30) to thirty (30) degrees relative to a horizontal line laterally bisecting the spool. Alternatively, however, fluid can be introduced to the spool tangentially.
