Lummus Technology's proprietary delayed coking technology is one of the most cost-effective routes to convert and upgrade heavy feedstocks such as residues, cracked materials (pyrolysis tar and cycle oils), and coal-derived liquids to more valuable, lighter distillates and coke. The technology is based on continuous refinement over several decades in the design of delayed cokers and accumulated data from more than 60 commercial installations.

This technology emphasizes high reliability and flexibility while meeting rigorous environmental and safety requirements. Client benefits include increased run length, high efficiency, reduced investment and maintenance costs, enhanced operational safety, shorter cycle time, and increased distillate production.

In addition to delayed coking technology, CB&I supports delayed coking projects with other capabilities. Our unique double fired heater design permits extended run lengths, while our patented Vertical Plate Coke Drum^TM technology helps eliminate circumferential bulging and cracking problems found in traditional coke drums.

CB&I also provides comprehensive EPC capabilities for delayed coking projects.
