MORE ABOUT THIS APPLICATION BRIEF

All cokers in oil refineries endure extreme operating conditions, leading to asset damage and failure. Replacing the cokers is expensive and time-consuming, so operators are looking for ways to extend the asset’s lifespan.

Previously, analysing the structural dynamics of entire coker units in high fidelity and near real-time was impossible. Now, Akselos’ advanced engineering simulation technology can create a near real-time structural digital twin of the asset to understand its integrity behaviour to the highest level of detail. This physics simulation gives operators a real-time visual representation of which high-stress locations require inspection or potential repair, reducing downtime and increasing the asset’s lifespan.
