What do think when seeing the word "coke"? a typical liquid drink? a possible choice. But in my world, "coke" refers to a solid product of a technology process or simply "coke" is the product of the coking process.
How do you know about "coke" or "coking"? The coking is a chemical engineering process that is employed to convert the very heavy feedstock to gain a lighter output (including "coke" in the solid form). This process is basically used in a refinery or heavy oil/bitumen upgrading plant. There are a lot of equipment or devices such as temperature controller, pressure controller, liquid level indicator, gas leak sensor... in the whole process.
It is necessary to have a lot of information before going to the design step of this process. You need to know the feedstock, the yield of the process, demands of the market, the location of plant, the utilities for the plant...
You can see a typical diagram for the coking as the below picture:
