Delayed Coker Valve Automation Solutions
Cowan Dynamics supplied its first fully automated switch coker valve control system over 20 years ago for a delayed coker unit. Shortly after, Cowan manufactured a control panel that included interlocks to the inlet transfer line valves to avoid the pump’s dead-ending. Cowans’ coker unit control panels are designed with a comprehensive interlock system that allows for the automated operation of valves with a minimum of risk.
Cowan Dynamics provides turnkey delayed coker valve automation solutions that include intrinsically safe Ex I or flameproof Ex d panels, as well as SIL-3 rated valve actuators. Systems can be fully redundant and offer a variety of options, such as remote operation and diagnostics via touch screens HMI in the field
Cowan Dynamics specializes in complex integrations and is capable of offering a factory acceptance test (FAT) to ensure that coker valves, actuators, and panels works to specifications prior to shipment. End-users are often invited to attend testing of these systems at our factory or can remotely view the FAT process online.
