Brand: Flowserve
Description:

The Video Monitoring System is an essential component of hydraulic decoking systems, providing real-time visual feedback during critical operations such as coke cutting, boring, and tool positioning in delayed coking units (DCUs). Designed to operate in high-temperature, high-vibration, and potentially hazardous environments, this system allows operators to monitor cutting tool performance, confirm tool alignment, and respond quickly to abnormal conditions.

Typically installed near the coke drum deck or tool guide, the system includes high-resolution, industrial-grade cameras, protective housings, and remote viewing interfaces. It enhances both safety and process efficiency by reducing the need for direct operator exposure near active decoking equipment.

Fully compatible with automated or semi-automated hydraulic decoking systems, this monitoring solution supports safer, faster, and more controlled decoking cycles in refineries and petrochemical facilities.

Video monitoring systems provide critical feedback to operators and are an essential part of remotely operated coke cutting systems from Flowserve.

Hydraulic Decoking Systems Video Monitoring System Applications

Decoking, Petroleum Production and Refining

  • Industries:
    Heavy Oil and Upgrading, Delayed Coking

Features:

Area-rated video cameras placed on the cutting deck give the operator a view of the top of the coked drum. Cameras also monitor the chute to provide feedback on drum cleaning while others provide a view of cutting operations from across the coke pit. All cameras have full tilt and pan capability and deliver video signal to remote cutting location on two or more monitors.
