Systems for improving cost effectiveness of coking systems
First Claim
1. A system for analyzing a coking system, comprising:
- an existing coking system comprising;
a first coke drum coupled with a first sensor, wherein the first coke drum comprises a residual feed, anda second coke drum coupled with a second sensor, wherein the second coke drum is fluidly coupled to the first coke drum, and wherein the first sensor and the second sensor are each configured to collect and transmit coke drum data to a hardware implemented analysis engine; and
a user device communicatively coupled to the hardware implemented analysis engine,wherein the hardware implemented analysis engine is configured to;
receive the coke drum data from the first sensor and the second sensor;
estimate a change in a design life span of the first coke drum using the coke drum data;
estimate an altered life span of the first coke drum using the estimated change in the design life span of the first coke drum;
analyze an effect of modifying an operating parameter of the first coke drum;
determining that a modification of an operating parameter increases the life span of the first coke drum;
provide a result item related to the modification of the operating parameter to the user device; and
modify the operating parameter of the first coke drum based at least in part on the determination that the modification of the operating parameter increases the life span of the first coke drum.

Abstract
A system for analyzing a coking system comprises a coking system comprising a first coke drum and a second coke drum, and a user device communicatively coupled to a hardware implemented analysis engine. The coking system configured to collect and transmit coke drum data to the hardware implemented analysis engine. The hardware implemented analysis engine is configured to: receive an estimation of an altered life span of the first coke drum relative to a design life span of the first coke drum, analyze an effect of adding an additional coke drum to the coking system based on the altered life span, and provide a result item related to the analysis to the user device. The estimation of the altered life span is based on the coke drum data.
