Delayed coking is a form of thermal cracking used for processing "bottom of barrel" residuum. Thermal cracking produces a wide range of hydrocarbons along with coke. Products of the coking process include sour fuel gas, sour liquefied petroleum gas (distillate), naphtha, light coker gas oil (HCGO), and heavy coker gas oil (FZGO). Steady state simulation of a delayed coker unit is the main aim of this project. It is also to study on hypothetical components of each component in the coker residue mixture. Besides that, this project is to explore the iCON simulator since iCON is a new simulator by using refinery oil. Features in iCON will be explored as the fractionator unit is being modeled. The delayed coker unit is a thermal reaction which involves large number of heat and very complex reaction. This project also studied the behavior of the hypothetical components with distillation process.
