2012 Decoking ConferenceKey Learnings & Successful Practices

Video is essential ‘kit’ for a coke handler. Site requires a system which is reliable and will provide at least four views simultaneously. (Open head, winch drum, chute, and crane location.)

Consider “serious controls” on human presence on the cutting deck during unheading and decoking. Routine human presence may come to be viewed as necessary, and reduce the benefit of the effort.

HMI graphics need to be simple to use, consistent, and well understood by the coke handler.

Consider hydraulic or electric winches.

Take care in arranging commissioning activities and resources, especially if remote decoking is being commissioned in conjunction with other complex changes. Missing a step or double-booking a resource can easily cost you hours or days.

2012 Decoking ConferenceAutomated Coke Cutting

History• 1980s – Simple Boring & Time Based Cutting

• mid 2000’s – BP Gelsenkirchen – On deck, time based, with some vibration feedback

• 2010 - Fully automated systems• Embedded intelligence and advanced algorithms to

process signals and control the cutting process• Automatic coke cutting with continuous feedback• Operator consulting only required for exceptions

2012 Decoking Conference

PLC cuts coke. Operator needed for abnormalitiesEquipment required

• AutoShift™ cutting tool• Remote winch and rotary joint operation• Remote operator enclosure• Automatic Guide Plate or Tool Enclosure• Vibration Drum Monitoring

Information required Data received by PLC and transferred to IPS APEX

• Cutting tool position and rotational speed• Cable tension and AutoShift mode

Data received directly by IPS APEX• Drum status

Automated Coke Cutting- Equipment

2012 Decoking Conference

Basic operation

Use vibration sensors mounted on the coke drum to provide feedback on the state of cleanliness of the drum wall

Sensors provide interactive feedback on the cutting status that can optimize the cutting time

Program is customized based on site-specific cutting practices and configured with end user

2012 Decoking Conference

Improved cutting personnel safety• Automated cutting system integrated with PLC interlocks• Minimize probability of operator mistake• Eliminates shortcuts sometimes taken by cutting personnel• Standardized cutting procedures reduce risk of aggressive cutting

practices

Process efficiency and consistency• Advance the cutting program as soon as possible based on

vibration feedback• Consistent cutting times with standardized cutting procedure

Automated Coke Cutting- Benefits

© Flowserve Corporation (2012) 36

2012 Decoking Conference

Improved equipment reliability • Less damage from ramming tool into coke bed during boring• Less chance of damage from aggressive cutting techniques• Can monitor performance of jet pump and other decoking equipment

for predictive maintenance

Data recording for process optimization / troubleshooting• Data recorded and can be compared w/process data to optimize

cycle times• Ability to access data for troubleshooting in case of any failure event• Ability to monitor performance of jet pump and other decoking

equipment for predictive maintenance
