Challenge: Mitigation of Coking in Fired Heater Tubes - Technology Org | By The Digital Insider


Can you come up with novel ways to mitigate, prevent, or eliminate coking – ‘coke’ is the building up of solid carbon – on fired heater tubes’ internal surfaces?


The Seeker encourages submissions of improved or novel techniques of elimination of coke buildup through on-line or offline cleaning, reduction of coke buildup during operation, or surface treatments/coatings to prevent or reduce coke buildup. These innovative solutions will improve refining processes by improving efficiency and reducing downtime.


In this Challenge, the Seeker encourages intuitive and theoretically-supported ideas and concepts which have not been demonstrated in the past and are reasonably practical to implement in real life: however, if you can submit improved products or services that have been used with evidence of great effect in the field, your submission will be prioritized.


This is a Prize Challenge which requires a written proposal to be submitted and there will be a guaranteed award for at least one submitted solution. By submitting a proposal, the Solver grants the Seeker the right to use any information included in their proposal.


Submissions to this Challenge must be received by 11:59 PM (US Eastern Time) on December 03rd, 2023.
