This session will discuss the project development and workflow, implementation, and application maintenance of an Imubit DLPC that was used to reduce giveaway on drum cycles on a delayed coker unit. The DLPC was successful in reducing the number of cycles in which the target level was not achieved in the fixed cycle time period. This resulted in an overall reduction in the number of barrels given away in each cycle. The application has achieved great acceptance by Operations.
Participants will:
Gain an understanding of the Imubit DLPC application to reduce giveway on Coker Drum cycles
Gain an understanding of the workflow for an Imubit DLPC project
Gain an understanding of unique challenges and lessons learned from the project
Artificial Intelligence, Advanced Process Controls

Multi-unit optimization has long been a complex issue in the oil and gas industry. Despite efforts using first-principle models or empirical approaches, challenges persist. However, the emergence of machine learning and AI technologies offers an alternative solution. In particular, AI-based process control technology has shown promise for multi-unit optimization. This session will delve into an example using a distillate system optimizer to understand how these AI models address large-scale optimization challenges and how parent and child models collaborate.
Participants will learn:
The strength of the technology and its high flexibility of handling core issues
How the technology deals with the availability of individual units, and cooperates with unit controllers from other advanced control technologies
How to sustain the technology’s performance and benefits
Learn from an incident where a sand blast pot was opened under pressure. We will discuss how the site was effected by this incident and how Motiva partnered with onsite contractors to create an onboarding document and video to ensure this type of incident is not repeated.
