Coker Unit

From HBM's Nuclear Tech Wiki
The coker unit in its full glory.

The Coker Unit is a machine that turns petroleum products into petroleum coke, which is the same to the other kinds of coke. It is huge, towering at a whopping 24 blocks, which is just 1 block shorter than the hydraulic fracking tower.

Crafting

The coker unit can be made in an assembly machine with the following recipe:

Recipes

The coker unit will require an external heat source in order to function, similar to the crucible.

The coker unit has many recipes, but most of them are petroleum products being turned into petroleum coke and either of the 3 coker fluids: coker oil, coker naphtha and coker gas. All of them can be fractioned within a fractioning tower:

There are also recipes that either don't give petroleum coke or don't give any of the coker fluids. These are:

Pollution

Alongside the electric arc furnace, the coker unit is one of the most polluting machines of the mod. It spreads 20 soot per second, making it a dangerous machine to use next to a glyphid nest, especially in rampant mode.
