Dear Guest, as well indicated by espana2005, there is not coker without potential hot spots in coke drums, otherwise you’re not optimizing or getting the optimum out of your coker; the main reason for it is because cokers are more profitable as they run more trash, or something nobody else will run. In summary, hot spot must be considered always a possibility, even though it does not happen when you expect to (be prepared for the worst and hope the best= coker normal operation).
