Build the foundation of your coker knowledge if you are an operator, engineer, or vendor. We only focus on the major and specialized equipment on the delayed coker. Get first-hand knowledge from people who have worked in a delayed coker for 30+ years and know the equipment and process inside and out.

Ensuring the right action is taken by the operator in the field is critical to the safety and operation of the delayed coker unit (DCU). The simple practice of call-and-repeat over the radio before making a move can help ensure the field operator is making the correct move on the correct drum at the right time in the cycle. This practice is used in the military and by pilots around the world...why not in the refinery and DCU units?
