Ruhrpumpen Decoking Tool prove to be very stable and reliable

摘要

Since 2000 the technology in delayed coking units has changed drastically. In combination with the development of automatic top and bottom valves, automatic drilling/cutting tools and hoist drivers have high performance cutting systems realized large improvements in safety and reliability. Dr. Wolfgang Paul from Ruhrpumpen has many years of experience in the Decoking business and managed to bring the products of Ruhrpumpen to a higher level.With the increase in size of the coke drums an increase of Jet Pump Power did follow. Until recently the power of the cutting equipment had not been increased but Ruhrpumpen developed drive systems for decoking Hoists and Drill Stem Drives, driven hydraulically or electrically. The power of these components followed the tendency of the coke drum volume and Jet Pump Power to meet the actual requirements of modern coke cutting systems. "The new features result in more safe and reliable service as well as in reduced operation time" Wolfgang Paul explains. Further advantages are provided when using the Hoists and Drill Stem Drives together with the other components of the Ruhrpumpen Coke Cutting System like Crosshead with Free Fall Arrestor, Auto-Switch CuttingTool and the Control System.
