Description
Catalytic coke is the coke generated during the catalytic cracking reaction; this dataset includes the main raw and auxiliary materials, energy, atmospheric emissions, water discharges, and waste from the production process. Infrastructure such as production equipment and construction of facilities, as well as crude oil extraction and transportation, are excluded from the system boundary of the dataset. The life cycle inventory is compiled from data derived from multiple sources. The production process for catalytic coke combustion encompasses general petroleum processing and refining operations, specifically including atmospheric and vacuum distillation, catalytic reforming, catalytic cracking, delayed coking, diesel hydrotreating, petrol adsorption desulfurization, liquefied gas separation, methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) production, and acid gas removal processes.
Activity Description
The production activities of the product include general petroleum processing and refining operations, specifically atmospheric and vacuum distillation, catalytic reforming, catalytic cracking, delayed coking, diesel hydrotreating, gasoline adsorption desulfurization, liquefied gas separation, methyl tert-butyl ether production, and acid gas removal.
Process Description
Catalytic coking can be classified into catalytic coke, additional coke, contaminant coke, catalyst-to-oil ratio coke, etc., and its formation is related to feedstock properties, catalyst type, reaction conversion rate, catalyst-to-oil ratio, heavy metal content in the feedstock, and stripping section efficiency.
