A process is provided for producing premium and super premium grade needle coke comprising the steps of passing a heavy resid feedstock to a resid hydrotreating reaction zone at resid hydrotreating conditions and producing light resid hydrotreated products and a heavy resid hydrotreated residual product, directing the heavy resid hydrotreated residual product and FCC decanted oil to a solvent extraction process reaction zone at solvent extraction process conditions and producing products comprising a solvent extracted oil and resin stream and a stream comprising asphaltenes, and conveying at least a portion of the solvent extracted oil and resin stream to a delayed coking process at delayed coking conditions and producing liquid products and premium grade coke.

Process for producing needle coke

A process is disclosed for sludge addition to a coking zone in which the sludge is contacted with oxygen. The sludge is then contacted with feed, liquid derived from the feed, or vapor derived from the feed. Oxygen also contacts the feed, liquid derived from the feed, or vapor derived from the feed to help maintain reaction temperature in the coking zone.

Oxygen addition to a coking zone and sludge addition with oxygen addition

A process is disclosed wherein at least two separate gaseous oxygen streams are passed into a coker transfer line to effect oxidation of a portion of the feed passing through the transfer line. Another aspect of the process is disclosed wherein gaseous oxygen is passed into a coking process and sludge is also passed into the coking process.
