The article examines the possibility of producing needle coke at the present capacities of one of the Russian oil refineries. Obtaining this product will allow for maintaining the relevance of the delayed coking plant against the background of the formation of new capacities, and also reduce the dependence of the metallurgical industry on the import of needle coke. At the same time, the high cost of the product will allow the profitability of black oil processing of the oil refining enterprise to remain at the same level. To calculate the possibility of break-even processing of black oil into a highly structured product, the Aspen HYSYS linear modeling program is used, which allowed the authors to qualitatively analyze the results, determine the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed action, as well as assess the impact on the market basket of the oil refining enterprise.
