Other Processes For Producing Petroleum Coke
There are other petroleum refining processes for producing petroleum coke, namely the Fluid Coking and Flexicoking processes both of which were developed and are licensed by Exxon Mobil Research and Engineering. The first commercial unit went into operation in 1955. Forty-three years later, as of 1998, there were 18 of these units operating worldwide of which 6 were in the United States.
There are other similar coking processes, but they do not produce petroleum coke. For example, the Lurgi-VZK Flash Coker which produces coke by the pyrolysis of biomass.
