2008 Galveston Coker Conference PresentationsThis page shows some info from the last seminar. As details for the next seminar are finalized, they will be updated here. Papers & PresentationsExxonMobil - ExxonMobil $100 million 8 Drum Coker Safety Upgrade Project at Beaumont. Adjustments to their 12-hr coke drum cycle that have resulted from the new facilities; the increased ability to safely handle long resids; commissioning and start-up.
Electric actuator technology spans the design concepts of the long-established electro-mechanical actuator to the electronic, non-intrusive actuators. Choosing the right design is critical for successful operation. DuraSystems - Firewalls and blast barriers - Blast and fire barriers can and should be installed in a multitude of areas to protect people and equipment, while also helping to contain the damage to a limited field. Automatic Self-Cleaning Water Filter - Reduced downtime because cutting water is free of coke particles. Eliminate Furnace Pass Flowmeter Problems - Bundled Waveguide Technology has been around since 1998, is proven in Furnace Pass applications and outperforms DP (Wedgemeters) and Vortex, in every way. Eliminate the risk of Shutdown and Furnace Trips, due to Furnace Pass Flowmeter problems. Turn key automation packages - including full Valve interlocks, Valve diagnostics and tie in with the unheading devices. The Best Practice for reliability improvement assessments for Delayed Cokers is a knowledge based team approach using senior specialists to identify safety and reliability gaps and develop prioritized plans for gap closure. The presentation will examine recent reliability survey results from these team assessments on Cokers new (< 3 yrs) and old (>40 yrs). A patented coating that prevents catalytic coking, blocks the bonding of precoking gel to the surface, and slows down pyrolytic coke formation. This coating can be applied on-site to existing equipment. Temp. measurement of Coker Furnace Tubeskins is important for safe coker operation-obtaining it with accuracy is a challenge. The heating/cooling of the furnace can stress thermocouples. This and more furnace issues. Coking.com, LLC - Coker Safety Moments Technical UpdatesDelayed Coking A Continued Need for Optimization Advanced Smart Pig for 'Mule Ear' Type Heater Tubes Making Coke Unit Elevators Safe and Reliable Les Moren - More Precious Than Gold . A Motivational Safety Talk. It's powerful and emotional - filled with life saving experiences. The new frontier of safety that will take you to the next level of safety awareness.

"[How to improve the seminar:] Allow a bit more time for discussions & exhibits. Otherwise great format (breakout session, exhibits, networking) went excellent. [What new topics to add:] Coker automation advances (latest), D-Valve, Z&J. - Ernie Shunsky Suncor Energy!" Lessons LearnedThe Lessons Learned sessions brings owners together with suppliers and other refiners to share concerns and explore issues regarding some of the most common operating systems. Each room will focus on one manufacturer and attendees may choose which topic is most interesting to them. The manufacturer will give some opening remarks and then users and guests will be invited to ask questions, talk about problems and share success stories. It is not a vendor presentation. The supplier will have their standard PowerPoint slide pack and a projector available only to show pictures or drawings to help facilitate discussion or make sure everyone can visualize the issue.
In a 2nd example, a refiner may share something that no one is able to fix. It's important for other refiners to know in case it's a safety concern. In this case it's useful for the manufacturer to hear it so they can go to the shop or design table and improve it for future installs. Or another may be when the manufacturer steps in and says, but there is a solution! They have a retrofit, or an upgrade, or a process change, and the refiner never thought to ask them or 'didn't get the memo'. It's good to have this open dialog with the manufacturer. Here's the manufacturer and lessons to be learned on Thursday morning at this seminar. Lessons Learned: -
Safety and reliability for coke drum
unheading.
Lessons Learned: -
Hydraulic
Lessons Learned: The whole coker process around Fired Heaters.
Evaluating the unit layout from where you locate fire monitors, sampling stations, utilities, tower design, etc for the
process. Breakout Discussion GroupsWe know that you like to hear how other refiners are handling safety situations, so we offer these Breakout Discussion Groups focused on:
50% of the attendees at the Texas seminar were refiners. This is what sets Coking.com Conferences apart from others and makes it so worthwhile to you! Check out the Exhibits more >> Click here to register. |

For example, a refiner says
they are having trouble with a piece of equipment.
He can't keep it working. Anyone in the room is invited to comment if they have the same problem.
No one else does. Hmm, it's determined that it is something the refiner is doing; it isn't the piece of equipment.
The facilitator asks for suggestions from the attendees on what they do to keep their reliability up.
Another refiner suggests how they maintain it and they have never had a problem.
