Traditional systems: Do not eliminate exposure Are expensive to operate & maintain Are complex to operate
Traditional systems: Do not safely allow processing of shot-coke Can not control a drum dump
Traditional systems: Simply are not safe 20 30 fatalities and numerous injuries in past 10 years

SWITCH DECK
Safe Unheading
Totally enclosed system from top head to coke receiving area No exposure to personnel, unheading deck, or to plant equipment Isolation of a tary drum Isolation or control of a drum dump
Safe Unheading
Positive mechanical lockout All required safety interlocks incorporated Safe to operate using back-up methods Remotely operable
Easy Operation
Satisfy all safety interlocks Receive board permission Remove positive lockout pin Push open/close button Remotely operable from
Local control panel Control room
Increased Throughput
Unheading time of 2-4 minutes For maximum increase in throughput, the DeltaGuard can be configured to allow;
Drainage of coke & water through the port (Model GV815) Optional-throttling design control of coke and water through the port (Model GV820)
Elimination of uncontrolled fallouts onto the switch deck eliminates down time for cleanup
Economic Benefits
No head gasket to replace at each drum cycle No feed line coupling gaskets to replace at each drum cycle No feed line coupling, or alignment systems to maintain No time consuming water flushing required (can be done through the valve) No disassembly, cleaning and re-assembly required at each cycle No other replacement parts at each cycle No maintenance or replacement of tools
No effect on coker operations No effect on coke drum drilling operations No maintenance expense Significantly improved safety Eliminates exposures to personnel Significant reduction in maintenance costs at turnarounds
All metal seating Nitrided gate and hard chromed seats Independent dual seats Floating top seat Static lower seat Double Block & purge/bleed Self cleaning Constant load keeps gate and seat surfaces together at all times
