Abstract: A method for making needle coke includes processing a feed comprising one or more renewable feedstocks in the presence of a cracking catalyst under fluidized catalytic cracking conditions to obtain a heavy cycle oil, delayed coking the heavy cycle oil under coking conditions to obtain an intermediate coke product, and calcining the intermediate coke product under calcinating conditions to obtain needle coke.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a real time embedded trace are provided. In certain embodiments, a system for acquiring data that uses a real time embedded trace includes a first computing system. The first computing system includes a memory unit; and a processing unit executing software, wherein the software comprises at least one real time trace instruction. Further, the at least one real time trace instruction directs the processing unit to directly store data onto the memory unit; and wherein the stored data is translated for a user after it is stored onto the memory unit.
