Presentations for the 2010 Coker Safety Seminar
April 19 - 22
Marathon Petroleum Company
Feed Interruptions
- 1. Feed Interruption/massive foamover
2. Feed interruption/tarball experience, 3. 1 hour into the drum during start-up, the furnace charge pump trips and cavitates resulting in "cooking" the tar with steam at 800 F drum inlet.
ExxonMobil
- Brief Update on 2009 ExxonMobil Torrance Bottom Deheading Fatality. Drain verification techniques.
LyondellBasell
Going High Tech to Get Back to the Basics
- Operator’s role in driving equipment reliability improvements.
Focus on implementation and utilization of mobile computing technology as one part of a comprehensive Operator Driven Reliability [ODR] solution. In short-Going High Tech to Get Back to Basics.
Zero Injury Institute
Make SAFETY A Core Value
-
Move your employees from merely being readers of your Corporate statement that "Safety Is A Core Value" to their personal commitment to it.
Scorpion Tools
Hydraulic Make-up / Break-up Tongs
- Reduce injury and increase efficiency by using high torque Hydraulic Make-up / Break-up Tongs when breaking apart pipes in the drill stem.
Structural Preservation Systems
Successful coker repair design model
- A successful civil project will be detailed and a case study analyzed to provide insight into value of using state-of-the-art project design, pre-cast,
cast-in-place, post-tensioned technologies and materials through “T/A Civil Approach” process.
Marsulex
Coke Cutting Business Model
- Developed Exxon reliability data in order to build a coke cutting business reliability model.
RSI Simcon Inc
80 Days to Operator Competency
-
Operator competency, the existing gap between capabilities and demands, the consequences of that gap and methods for closing the gap.
Stress Engineering Services, Inc.
Long-Term Repairs for Bulges
- Presentation examines bulging failure mechanism, compares pros and cons of common repair techniques, and discusses ongoing joint industry test program for optimizing repairs and
extending economic lives of repaired drums beyond customary limits.
Risk Based Inspection in Delayed Cokers
-
Risk based inspection assesses fatigue, creep and cracking on coke drums and the piping. A "damage to cladding" scenario predicting
its life based on those conditions.

Focus on Heaters
April 21-22
INCREASE Performance, Inc.
Prolonging Heater Run Time
- In 2006, a client refinery in SE Kansas asked for a coker heater review. It was experiencing tube failures causing unscheduled shutdowns in addition to scheduled shutdowns.
A furnace revamp was recommended, implemented, with significant results & savings.
Abstract
CSI - Controls Southeast Inc
Stop plugging those heater lines
- Historical pipe heating approaches for lower viscosity residuum are proving inadequate. Refineries are turning to a more robust heat tracing solution. Review of areas in the coking unit most
susceptible to plugging and describe the heating solution.
Sonomatic Ltd
Nondestructive carburization inspection
-
A newly developed and validated non-destructive inspection technique for detecting and sizing thru-wall extent of diffused carbon, using a non-standard form of TOFD will be discussed, and its integration into a predictive tube life assessment methodology.
Champion Technologies
Heater Pilot Plant
- Efforts to better understand basic events leading to laydown of coke on tubes using a pilot plant built specifically for this purpose will be described,
example data provided. This tool can be used to pre-screen applications of chemical antifoulants.
Hamworthy Combustion
Low & Ultra Low NOx Burners Issues
- The issues of correctly designing Low NOx and ultra Low NOx burners, considering fuel specifications and design operating parameters of the plant-how these may be related to a loss in furnace efficiency,
plant production rates-overall profitability.
KBC Advanced Technologies Inc.
Coker Heater Design and Evaluation
- Getting the most out of their coker heaters can be very valuable to a refiner.
 Evaluating a coker heater is complicated due to difficulties in feed characterization and due to the
reaction occurring in the coil. KBC reviews its methodology for rigorously.
FosterWheeler
Coker Heater Design - the Heart of the Coking Process
- This presentation addresses the other design features that could offer better maintenance,
more flexible operation or on existing units incorporate current trends on retrofits. Areas to include are graduated design conditions, spalling impact on metallurgy, use of radiant header boxes, new verses retrofit use of SS tubes and tube coating considerations (among others).
Breakout Discussion Groups
We know that you like to hear how other refiners
are handling safety situations, so we offer these
Breakout Discussion Groups focused on:
-
Safety
-
Operations
-
Maintenance/Reliability
-
Process
There's always a large turnout of refiners. This is what sets Coking.com Conferences apart from others and makes it so worthwhile to you!
"[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 Shumsky Suncor Energy!"
