Abstract

Systems for analyzing a benefit or detriment of (1) changing an operational condition or parameter, or (2) adding a coke drum to an existing coking system are disclosed. Contemplated systems can increase the cost effectiveness of coking systems by providing valuable analysis data.

Claims

20-1. The system of claim 1, further comprising a computer configured to produce a schedule for procuring at least some components of the additional coke drum.

21-2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a computer configured to produce a schedule for procuring a crane to install the additional coke drum.
