Better DCU Performance through Smarter Insulation Design

Overview

Delayed coker units (DCU) are more sensitive to insulation performance than any other process unit in a refinery. In this webinar, we’ll discuss how the choice of thermal insulation in a DCU can impact:

Liquid yields and throughput
Feedline temperature drop and pigging frequency
Online insulation repairs
