In the delayed coker unit (DCU) valves, a key for reliable performance is to be able to prevent process media buildup with efficient body and/or seat purging. Optimal and effective purge system designs extend valve service life and improve their performance. Increasing valve performance while reducing operational and maintenance cost is important to plant profitability. In fact, any buildup due to the lack of inefficient purging in the delayed Coker valve may cause immediate interruption to the process.
