Coke chemical companies often have a deficit of coals of particularly valuable grades, the coking coals. This work studies the opportunity of producing petroleum coking additives using delayed coking during heavy petroleum residue processing. Experiments for the production of a carbon material were conducted using three kinds of heavy petroleum residues of the oil refinery plant Ltd Kinef: the vacuum residue from crude atmospheric and vacuum distillation units (VR1), the vacuum residue from the vacuum distillation hydrocracking unit (VR2), and the visbreaker residue from the visbreaking unit (VR3).
