First sentence: Cost of coking plants has always been confusing [7-10] because: (1) there are two major processes, delayed and fluid; (2) most coker gas oil is withdrawn as product, but occasionally it is recycled leading to larger yields of coke; (3) few plants were built during 1940-1967; and especially (4) capacity is a function of coke production rather than the barrels per day fed to the unit.
