Coke drums are the main part of Coker unit, in which thermal cracking of higher molecular hydrocarbon gets converted to lower molecular hydrocarbons. During the process of decoking the drums undergo cyclic variations in temperature range. The coke drum then separates lighter vapors out of the crude, including hydrocarbon gases. During quenching, the coke drum is inevitably subjected to a rapid drop in temperature because cooling water is injected directly into the coke drum. The temperature profile on the shell surface is uneven and can vary in each cycle of the quenching operation. Such a complicated thermal profile induces large strains in the shell portion of the coke drum, and eventually causes damage like bulging and/or cracking.. This project deals with the technique for manufacturing coke drums that are bulge resist
