VSC’s Coker group specializes in equipment and services for the coker industry, including the DeltaGuard™ coke drum unheading system. This revolutionary system provides the safest working environment within the delayed coker industry. Heading and unheading are simpler, faster, safer and much more cost effective than any other approach to the batch stage of a DCU operation.

Heading and unheading can be accomplished in less than 4-5 minutes. In addition, the DeltaGuard system makes unheading so efficient that most refiners will enjoy considerable additions to the DCU operation’s bottom line. These efficiencies become an additional revenue stream:

• Refiners using the DeltaGuard system can now SAFELY handle shot coke, giving them the ability to process less expensive crude.
• Provides significant ongoing operational and maintenance savings while affording refiners the ability to reduce cycle times and increase throughput, while maintaining:
  • Single button operation
  • Only one major moving part
  • Drum can be drained directly through discharge port
