The main objective of this work is to analyze the main factors that motivated the choice of Flexicoking technology over many other technologies for the upgrading of vacuum waste, within the framework of the needs of the Modernization of the Talara Refinery and environmental regulations current. For this, seven factors were analyzed: (1) flexibility of crude oil, (2) yield of light hydrocarbons and quality of coke, (3) energy requirement and industrial services, (4) commercial trajectory of the technology, (5) management of by-products, (6) environmental impact and finally (7) costs and investment. It was determined that five of these factors were relevant for the choice of the Flexicoking deep conversion technology, namely: the high flexibility to process the sour and heavy crude oils that are available in the region; the lower demand for natural gas as an energy requirement that technology implies; the high performance of products with the highest added value; gasoline and diesel with 15.1% and 41.5% respectively, which represent 56.6% of total production; the efficient handling and use of by products: coke and flexigas; and the minimization of the environmental impact on air quality due to the reduction of gaseous emissions, which is reflected in the drop in the concentration of SO2 in the receiving body, which would decrease from 561.4 ug/m3 to 55 ug/m3 at Point Maximum Impact (PMI) with the implementation of the Flexicoking Unit in the Talara Refinery Modernization Project.
