    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for integrating a fluidized coking process with a catalyst-enhanced coke gasification process. The catalyst for the gasification process can correspond to calcium oxide, a thermally decomposable calcium salt, a potassium salt such as potassium carbonate, or a combination thereof. Examples of suitable calcium salts can include, but are not limited to, calcium hydroxide, calcium nitrate, and calcium carbonate. The calcium oxide, potassium salts, and/or thermally decomposable calcium salts can be introduced into the integrated system, for example, as part of the feed into the coker. It has been unexpectedly discovered that using catalytic gasification as part of an integrated fluidized coking and gasification process can result in an overhead gas stream from the gasifier with increased energy content and/or overhead gas pressure.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for integrating a fluidized coking process, optionally a coke gasification process, and processes for production of additional liquid products from the coking and/or gasification process. In some aspects, the integrated processes can allow for conversion of olefins generated during a fluidized coking process to form additional liquid products. Additionally or alternately, in some aspects the integrated processes can allow for separation of syngas from the flue gas/fuel gas generated by a gasifier integrated with a fluidized coking process. This syngas can then be used to form methanol, which can then be converted in a methanol conversion process to form heavier products. In such aspects, olefins generated during the fluidized coking process can be added to the methanol conversion process to improve the yield. Additionally, in various aspects, the off-gas from the integrated conversion process can be used as an additional paraffin feed that can be recycled to one of the heat integration conduits in the fluidized coker for additional generation of olefins. This can provide a further increase in liquid yields using a carbon source (C4− paraffins) that is conventionally viewed as a low value product from coking.
