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

Case Study 2

Shell Wilmington Refinery


Wilmington, California Refinery Delayed Coker Unit Background 4 drum coker unit DeltaValve enclosed unheading system Foster Wheeler process licensed technology

Case Study 2

Shell Wilmington Refinery


Wilmington, California Incident Background (May 2006) Main transformer failure and lost power to some major equipment on the delayed coker unit Not able to get heater trip system reset and get heat back into the coke drums

Case Study 2

Shell Wilmington Refinery


Wilmington, California Incident Background (May 2006) One coke drum has been charged for about 19 hours and the other drum had been charged for about 7 hours Continued to put feed into the coke drums for 2 hours at about 230C (too cold for any coking reactions to occur) Eventually operators stopped feed into the coke drums, but the amount of cold feed was too much

Case Study 2

Shell Wilmington Refinery


Wilmington, California Event Procedure Successfully introduced steam and quench water into both drums to cool the internal materials Proceeded to unhead the first drum (19 hours charging) Material in this drum was a slurry of coke particles and cool tarry material, similar to the consistency of road asphalt. Successfully emptied the first coke drum

Case Study 2

Shell Wilmington Refinery


Wilmington, California Event Procedure Certain the second drum (7 hour feed) was going to be mostly tar. Cause for significant concern and extra precaution. Waited for second drum tar to cool sufficiently. Attempted to drain quench water through feed line. Unsuccessful, tar plugged the line.

Case Study 2

Shell Wilmington Refinery


Wilmington, California Event Procedure Added fire-water sprays into the coke pit as a precautionary measure (concerns of a hot tar flash fire.) Evacuated coke structure. Slowly opened the DeltaValve by remote operation from an enclosed unheading shelter.

Case Study 2

Shell Wilmington Refinery


Wilmington, California Outcome Hot water and liquid tar came from the bottom of the coke drum through the valve. Dumped approximately 5000 barrels of tar into the coke pit. Successfully unheaded the tarry drum without incident.

Case Study 2

Shell Wilmington Refinery


Wilmington, California Final Result No injuries No risk to personnel No damaged equipment No detrimental environmental impact No downtime (estimated savings of up to $10 million)

Case Study 2

Shell Wilmington Refinery


Wilmington, California We are obviously thrilled with the performance of our DeltaValve unheading system, and we know the cost of the system was justified economically just by this one event. The safety benefits of being able to remotely un-head the drum and reclose it are, of course, priceless. The industry has come a long way in terms of coker safety and DeltaValve has made an immense contribution to that progress.
Eric Brown Crude, DCU Production Specialist Tesoro (Shell ) Wilmington

Why Install the DeltaGuard ?


Safe Unheading
Totally enclosed system, eliminates exposure risks Immediate reduction of operating/maintenance expense Refinery specific- ~ $200K+per drum per year Ability to process alternative crudes Increased production due to reduce cycle times Drum is drained directly through the device Push button-open/close

Return on Investment

Easy to Operate Reliable Design


One major moving part Experience (Proven Technology) 7 + years of maintenance free operation Over 500,000 combined cycles No safety incidents
