This proposal is for a two and half year research program focusing on damage analysis and long term reliability evaluation of delayed coke drums - primary equipment associated with the processing of oil sand bitumen. The service lives of current coke drums are limited due to severe thermal-mechanical load experienced. Through tightly-coupled experimental investigation, theoretical modeling and FEM numerical simulation, a thorough understanding of the initiation and propagation of damage in coke drums will be obtained. A more reliable life estimation methodology will be developed, as well as the proposal of enhancements to delay the damage and to prolong lives of coke drums.

该提案是一个为期两年半的研究计划，重点是延迟焦炭塔的损坏分析和长期可靠性评估——与油砂沥青加工相关的主要设备。由于承受严重的热机械负荷，当前焦炭塔的使用寿命受到限制。通过紧密耦合的实验研究、理论建模和有限元数值模拟，将深入了解焦炭塔损坏的产生和传播。将开发更可靠的寿命估计方法，并提出增强措施以延迟损坏并延长焦炭塔的寿命。
