How Much Should You Quench Coke Drum Vapors?

Our goal is to keep the coke in the coke drum, right? We are not always completely successful in this mission but one way to keep the drum vapor line clean is to minimize carryover from the drum and quench the vapors “enough” to prevent coke deposition on the ID of the pipe. Coke deposits in the line increase drum pressure and negatively impact yields. Conversely, quenching too much can create excess recycling that limits capacity. In this session, we will explore this tight rope and discuss what a good quenched vapor target could be for your plant.

These events are designed to bring together the refining community in a time when we must practice social and professional distancing, while still gaining valuable insight in ways to improve safety, efficiency, and profitability in the unit. Now, more than ever, we need our community to support one another. In this spirit, eRefComm? will serve as a virtual event space for technical sharing and remote networking, modeled after our popular RefComm? breakout sessions. Every other week, we will have a new short topic and lively discussion centered around that topic.

The next free interactive webinar as part of our eRefComm? series will be held Thursday, May 14, 2020 at 10 am CST. The topic, How Much Should You Quench Coke Drum Vapors?, which focuses on the delayed coking unit is part of the Coker Essentials series developed by Coking.com. Coking.com is the world’s premier delayed coker training, conferencing and consulting company.

?"I've spent my life going to these conferences and RefComm is by far the best...interactive and intensive learning and networking activities...nearly an even split between both refinery operating personnel as well as service companies - suppliers. This breakdown naturally results in unparalleled content. Refinery operators address their specific problems and the solutions they've found to those problems." -Robert Brelsford, Downstream Technology Editor, Oil & Gas Journal
