101 Series: Crude-Coking — Coker Monitoring and KPI
101 Series, Crude, Coking
This presentation will focus on the key performance indicators (KPIs) essential for optimizing delayed coker unit operations. It will examine the influence of feed properties on coke quality and heater fouling, while highlighting strategies to improve heater performance and maximize coke drum capacity utilization. Particular emphasis will be placed on minimizing coke drum outages and optimizing cycle time management to enhance unit throughput and reliability. The discussion will also address fractionator and gas plant performance, with a focus on maximizing liquid recovery, as well as evaluating blowdown system. Collectively, these KPIs provide a comprehensive framework for driving operational excellence and improving overall coker profitability.

FCC Emissions Fundamentals and Challenges
FCC, Environmental
Fluid Catalytic Cracking technology provides an elegant and flexible solution to meet refining and petrochemical demands but concurrently carries notable challenges. Among these challenges are contaminants produced in the process, notably particulate matter, SOx, NOx, and CO, which have potential to result in air quality emissions from the flue gas stack. This session will describe the formation mechanisms and summarize available control technology to manage emission of these species.
