Heavy gas oil components, coking process recycle, and heavier hydrocarbons in the delayed coking process are cracked in the coking vessel by injecting a catalytic additive into the vapors above the gas/liquid-solid interface in the coke drum during the coking cycle. The additive comprises cracking catalyst(s) and quenching agent(s), alone or in combination with seeding agent(s), excess reactant(s), carrier fluid(s), or any combination thereof to modify reaction kinetics to preferentially crack these components. The quenching effect of the additive can be effectively used to condense the highest boiling point compounds of the traditional recycle onto the catalyst(s), thereby focusing the catalyst exposure to these target reactants. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention can also provide methods to (1) reduce coke production, (2) reduce fuel gas production, and (3) increase liquids production.

1. A process comprising introducing by pressurized injection an additive comprising cracking catalyst(s) and quenching agent(s), alone or in combination with seeding agent(s), excess reactant(s), carrier fluid(s), or any combination thereof into vapors in a coking vessel of a delayed coking process
1. A process comprising introducing by pressurized injection an additive comprising cracking catalyst(s) and quenching agent(s), alone or in combination with seeding agent(s), excess reactant(s), carrier fluid(s), or any combination thereof into vapors in a coking vessel of a delayed coking process during a coking cycle wherein said quenching agent(s) condense a vapor of a highest boiling point compound to facilitate contact with components of said catalyst. 2. A process of claim 1 wherein said contact of said highest boiling point compound of said vapors in said coking vessel with said cracking, catalyst(s), alone or in combination with said seeding agent(s), said excess reactant(s), or any combination thereof of said additive creates selective conversion of said highest boiling point compound of said vapors in said coking vessel. 3. A process of claim 2 wherein said selective conversion comprises cracking of said highest boiling point compound of said vapors in said coking vessel. 4. A process of claim 2 wherein said selective conversion comprises catalytic cracking, catalytic coking, thermal cracking, thermal coking, or any combination thereof. 5. A process of claim 2 wherein said conversion of highest boiling point compounds of said vapors in said coking vessel is used to reduce recycle in a coking process, reduce heavy components in coker gas oils, or any combination thereof. 6. A process of claim 2 wherein said conversion includes cracking highest boiling point compounds of said vapors in said coking vessel to lighter hydrocarbons that leave the coking vessel as vapors and enter a downstream fractionator where said lighter hydrocarbons are separated into process streams that are useful in oil refinery product blending. 7. A process of claim 6 wherein said lighter hydrocarbon streams comprise naphtha, gas oil, gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel, diesel fuel, heating oil, or any combination thereof. 8. A process of claim 1 wherein said additive is added to said vapors above a vapor-liquid interface in said coking vessel. 9. A process of claim 1 wherein components of said additive are combined by mixing that provides a sufficient level of blending said components prior to addition to said coking vessel of said coking process. 10. A process of claim 1 wherein a temperature of said additive is regulated by temperature control that provides a predetermined temperature level of said additive mixture prior to addition to said coking vessel of said coking process. 11. A process of claim 1 wherein said catalyst lowers an energy required for cracking reactions, coking reactions, or any combination thereof. 12. A process of claim 1 wherein said catalyst is a catalyst that provides propagation of carbon based free radicals that facilitate cracking and coking reactions. 13. A process of claim 1 wherein said catalyst comprises alumina, silica, zeolite, calcium, activated carbon, crushed pet coke, or any combination thereof. 14. A process of claim 1 wherein said catalyst comprises new catalyst, FCCU equilibrium catalyst, spent catalyst, regenerated catalyst, pulverized catalyst, classified catalyst, impregnated catalysts, treated catalysts, or any combination thereof. 15. A process of claim 1, wherein said catalyst has particle size characteristics to prevent entrainment in said vapors, to achieve fluidization in the coking vessel and increase residence time in said vapors, or any combination thereof. 16. A process of claim 1 wherein said excess reactant comprises gas oil, FCCU slurry oil, FCCU cycle oil, extract from an aromatic extraction unit, coker feed, bitumen, other aromatic oil, coke, activated carbon, coal, carbon black, or any combination thereof. 17. A process comprising introducing an additive by pressurized injection into vapors in a coking vessel of a delayed coking process during a coking cycle to condense a vapor of a highest boiling point compound to facilitate contact with components of said additive; wherein said additive comprises cracking catalyst(s) and quenching agent(s), alone or in combination with seeding agent(s), excess reactant(s), carrier fluid(s), or any combination thereof; andwherein said contact of said highest boiling point compound of said vapors in said coking vessel with said cracking catalyst(s), alone or in combination with said seeding agent(s), said excess reactant(s), or any combination thereof of said additive creates selective conversion of said highest boiling point compound of said vapors in said coking vessel.
