In the petroleum industry, Fluid CokerTM are used to upgrade the heaviest remains of heavy oil into useful lighter products such as fuel oil or petrochemical feed. The development of a better injection into a Fluid CokerTM is a key parameter to obtain a more efficient and sustainable use of heavy crude oil. The main detrimental factor in Fluid CokingTM is the formation of agglomerates between the injected oil and the coke particles. These agglomerates not only trap injected oil, not allowing free reaction, but also cause harm to the CokerTM when they fall to the …
