Optimizing the critical level measurements in delayed coker units

Global refiners are always seeking new techniques to optimize their refinery assets with the purpose of maximizing their profitability. Since delayed coking is one of the most profitable units in the refinery, many refiners are turning to this proven conversion technology. One of the most critical measurements in a DCU is the level measurement inside the drums. For a long time, neutron backscatter measurements were used for this purpose. In the meantime, this technology is complemented or even completely replaced by continuous gamma level measurement. The challenges of the level measurement as well as the advantages and disadvantages of these technologies, can be learned in the newest whitepaper from Berthold.

These are some of the advantages of Berthold's level measurement used in coke drums:
* Increased throughput
* Increased reliability
* Reduce anti-foam chemical usage
* Reduce foam-overs
