THE STRESS YOU CAN MANAGE CYCLE BY CYCLE
Operations asks “How hard can we run this cycle?”. Operators already tune conservatively to protect the drum. What’s missing isn’t data, it’s knowing which settings buy the drum life and which ones spend it.
Integrity asks “How much life does the drum have left?”. Integrity already manages conservatively, because a periodic inspection has to carry margin for everything that could happen between scans.
SPM for Cokers answers both questions from the same digital twin, so operations and integrity work from one shared, cycle-updated picture of the drum instead of two partial ones.
WHAT’S NEW IN THIS RELEASE
Fatigue, bulging, and crack growth, calculated in the same model, every cycle.
Previously, fatigue was the only mechanism SPM tracked continuously. Now all three run together, so remaining life is calculated for every mechanism that actually limits a coke drum’s life, not just one of them.
Built on a high-fidelity digital twin, with fatigue assessed per API 579 Part 14 Level 2 and bulging and crack growth running on the same model, so remaining life is reported for every mechanism individually.
API 579 Part 14 Level 2 5M degrees of freedomBUILT INTO EVERY CYCLE
Everything that makes the fix above possible: fatigue, bulging, and crack growth calculated together, every cycle, surfaced in one dashboard.
FATIGUE ASSESSMENT
SPOT THE DAMAGE BEFORE IT ADDS UP
- Tracks incremental fatigue accumulation cycle-over-cycle
- Predicts how much fatigue life is left
- Breaks fatigue assessment results down by pressurized and non-pressurized regions
BULGING ASSESSMENT
STRAIN YOU CAN SEE COMING
- Recalculates Plastic Strain Limit Fraction (PSLF) after every cycle
- Projects future bulging life, not just what’s already there
- Breaks results down by shell and cone regions
- Lets you define custom bulging and PSLF plot contours
CRACK ASSESSMENT
KNOW THE THRESHOLD NOT JUST THE CRACK
- Calculates critical crack size thresholds to prevent structural failures
- Models how cracks grow over time
- Generates full Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD) curves
