Lessons Learned - CNRL Horizon Upgrader
-Opening Top Slide Valve on a Live Coke Drum. On January 6, 2011, the top slide gate valve on a live coke drum was opened. In this presentation, we will explore the compound factors that led to this tragic event. The accident and subsequent collateral damage resulted in three operators injured (1 serious and 2 minor), $2B in rebuild costs, and more than six months of downtime.

 Closed Coke Slurry System
An environmentally friendly, safe, reliable system with
features to route in‐line crushed coke slurry from cutting to dewatering
in a closed system at par with Best Available Technique (BAT). Full
automated concept eliminates problems of open pit design.

The Coke Drum Thermal Kinetic Dynamic
This paper will define or describe the thermal kinetics
involved in the coke drums, the model development, how this effects the
yields, coke quality and also how this affects coke drum
reliability/operability.

ACFM Crack Detection Service for Coke Drums
CIA designed, built, tested a robotically deployed
sensor that can identify, validate, and quantify crack type indications
in live drums without shutting down using custom ACFM probe and crawler.
We will describe the concept and provide recent field trial results.

Add a third drum to a delayed coking unit
Recent trends in operations are towards shortening cycle
time for coke drums. Adding a third drum can increase drum life and
reduce maintenance costs. Will outline the
advantages/disadvantages/initial capital costs offset of adding third
drum to coking unit.

FusionStell™ Cladding Technology
Enables cladding of inside diameters as narrow as 1";
provides wear protection for return bends, elbows, reducers,
T-junctions. Is suitable to improve wear resistance of parts subjected
to high temp erosion applications, such as delayed coking furnaces.
Louw De Jong, Deloro Stellite Inc.
Technical Challenges of Coke Drum Manufacturing
L&T has developed expertise and built the facility to satisfy all stringent requirements of design and fabrication of coke drum: Design/Analysis; Material Procurement/Preservation during Fabrication; Manufacturing Capabilities and Facilities; Track Records.

Demonstrations and Workshops
An exciting new feature scheduled into the conference!
Breakout groups are moving from
Thursday afternoon to Friday morning. On Thursday afternoon you choose to attend
an equipment
demonstration or workshop in the Exhibition Hall or listen to a technical paper in the Presentation Hall. DeltaValve, RuhRPumpen, Flowserve, TAS, TapcoEnpro, Velan and ValvTechnologies
have confirmed demonstrations – and there's more to come. Let us know if you
have something to demonstrate.
Demonstrations will be listed here in the next few weeks.
"The seminar was excellent. The
breakout sessions and hall meetings were extremely useful. The [shop] tour was
great." - Marsulex
