Flexicoking — A thermal cracking process which converts heavy hydrocarbons such as crude oil, tar sands bitumen, and distillation residues into light hydrocarbons. Feed stocks can be any pumpable hydrocarbons including those containing high concentrations of … Energy terms
Coking — Thermal refining processes used to produce fuel gas, gasoline blendstocks, distillates, and petroleum coke from the heavier products of atmospheric and vacuum distillation. Includes: Delayed Coking. A process by which heavier crude oil… … Energy terms
thermal cracking — 1. A refining process in which heat and pressure are used to break down, rearrange, or combine hydrocarbon molecules. Thermal cracking includes gas oil visbreaking, fluid coking, delayed coking, and other thermal cracking processes (e.g.,… … Petroleum refining glossary
