We are currently considering in our coker to make the operation of the coke drums as automatic as possible. So the questions are: Which companies are advisable for manufacturing coker isolation valves? switch valves? Is the ball valve design the best? How would you compare it with the gate valve/wedge plug design? Are there other designs? How about ease of inclusion of interlocks: in ball valves? gate valves? wedge plug? Thanks in advance.....
