How to evaluate coking feedstock in the laboratory
Thread Content
How can the properties of coking feedstocks be simulated and evaluated in the laboratory? Who possesses the methods and instruments for this purpose, and how can it be ensured that the data obtained are consistent with those from actual processing?
Well, it depends on what you want to do with the coking feedstock in order to choose the appropriate methods and equipment
It’s used as raw material for delayed coking.
Evaluation should be carried out based on the properties of the coking feedstock. Generally, coking feedstocks contain saturated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, asphaltenes, and resins; the quality of the coking feedstock is determined according to the proportions of these components. In general, the higher the content of saturated hydrocarbons, the better. The yield of light oil is determined through laboratory tests, and the appropriate testing instruments are selected based on those tests
