Currently, refineries face a challenge of meeting changes in product demand, with an increasing demand for light distillates (naphtha, gasoil), and a decreasing demand for heavy fuel oil, exacerbated by IMO 2020 regulation. As already observed, in some key regions, restrictions on petcoke sales has impacted some refineries and this will be more stringent in future.
Furthermore, refineries have to meet ever more severe emission limits for SOx, NOx and particulates.
Refining India brings together engineers and senior representatives from global operating and refining technology companies to discover leading developments and connect the key leaders across the sector.
Axens and ExxonMobil signed an Alliance Agreement to provide FLEXICOKING™ Technology and integrated resid conversion solution on December 2019. This Alliance combines ExxonMobil successful owner-operator experience with Axens’ complete portfolio of technologies to provide smart, commercially demonstrated expertise to help meet refineries’ needs.
FLEXICOKING™ is a unique technology, upgrading low value residues into high value liquid products, while generating high quality utilities through clean flexigas production that can be used as refinery fuel or for power generation.
FLEXICOKING™ is a continuous fluidized bed process that thermally converts heavy feeds to lighter products and high-quality utilities through clean flexigas production. Process heat for the thermal conversion and gasification step is provided by partial oxidation of coke. The process consists of three main vessels: coking reactor, reaction heater and coke gasifier.
Depending on feed characteristics, refinery scheme, and product yields targeted by refineries, FLEXICOKING™ unit can be installed stand-alone, or in a tailor-made combination with other residue upgrading technologies like H-Oil® offered by Axens, market leader in the field of residue conversion and hydrotreating technologies.
