Coke Drum Weld Design for Better Fatigue Performance

Picture for Coke Drum Weld Design for Better Fatigue Performance
Available for download

Delayed coking process is one of the major process technologies used for breaking down the heavy, long chain hydrocarbon molecules of the residual oil into shorter coker gas oil (and petroleum coke as by-product). Severe cyclic operating conditions are involved in these units. The main vessels, coke drums, are exposed to multiple damage mechanisms, as summarized in API 934G and J.

Low cycle fatigue is a dominating damage mechanism for coke drums due to the batch cyclic operation and water quenching process. Resistance to low cycle fatigue is one of the major considerations when designing new drums. In a major coke drum replacement project, lab testing was employed to assist selection of weld profile, welding processes for clad restoration, and to generate the fatigue curves for the specific weld design. This paper summarizes part of the main testing results and findings from the lab testing program, using samples made with C-0.5Mo steel with Alloy 625 cladding. These testing results supported design selection for better fatigue resistance and are anticipated to increase service life of the new coke drums.

Rust Creepage Mechanism for Offshore Atmospheric Coatings

The service life of current offshore platform coatings are normally less than 10 years. It is very expensive ($100/ft2) to rehabilitate the offshore platform coatings in the field. Therefore, facility owners are very anxious to select the long-life coatings. The candidate coatings are normally tested in the lab following the ISO 12944-91 or the AMPP TM216122 standard.

Once polymers are used reliably in a specific service, they become the material of choice due to their cost effectiveness. However, to choose and apply polymers dependably, one must consider their unique properties – they are different from the metals we use industrially. Through various examples of damaged and failed parts, this paper illustrates fundamental information about choosing, using, and keeping polymers in service. Polymers are subject to permeation, oxidation, aging, fatigue, installation damage, and other damage.

Theory and testing of composite materials on Stress Corrosion Cracking

Stress Corrosion Cracking, or SCC, is part of a group of cracks commonly known as Environmental Cracking. Additional types of cracks found in this group include corrosion fatigue and hydrogen embrittlement. It is generally known that SCC requires three factors to be present to form and continue growing. The first is a susceptible material. In the world of pipelines, carbon steel is quite susceptible to corrosion when buried but is typically protected from this threat utilizing a combination of external coatings in cathodic protection.
