Less than six years have passed since the hurricane that first inaugurated Pyrogel's usage in delayed coker units. In that time, more than 10% of the world s delayed coker units have begun using the material. Applications include not just drums, but also feed and overhead lines, inspection windows, level sensors, and passive fire protection for skirts. One of the world s largest DCU engineering firms has standardised on the use of Pyrogel for all top heads and bottom cones, and several US and international DCU operators now use Pyrogel as their default insulation material. By the end of 2015, Pyrogel will be in service on more than 50 drums, up from four in 2011. For DCU operators around the world, the question is no longer whether to use Pyrogel, but simply where, and how much. Operating a DCU is still a high wire act but, with new insulation materials, the tightrope can at least be made a little easier, and more profitable, to walk.
