    Tubacoat is an advanced ceramic coating designed for downstream applications to optimize fired heater operations processing bottom of the barrel feeds like cokers and resid hydrocrackers. These units suffer from coke formation in radiant section tubes, increasing temperatures, pressure drops and reducing efficiency. Tubacoat minimizes coke formation and adhesion due to its chemical inertness and anti-adherent properties, extending run lengths between decoking and improving heat transfer. Field data shows Tubacoat reduces coke deposits by an average of 3 times compared to uncoated tubes.

    Tubacoat for anti-coking applications


    Tubacoat for anti-coking applications is an advanced ceramic coating technology specifically designed for downstream
    applications to optimize fired heater operations in units processing bottom of the barrel such as Delayed Cokers, Vacuum
    distillation units, Visbreakers or Resid Hydrocrackers. All these units suffer coke formation in the fired heater radiant section tubes,
    which leads to wall temperature increase, increased pressure drop, reduced heat transfer efficiency and finally requires decoking
    to restore reliable operation.
    When Tubacoat is applied on furnace radiant section tubes, due to its outstanding chemical inertness that avoids coke formation
    and excellent anti-adherent properties that minimize coke deposition, the following benefits are obtained by End Users:

    • Minimizes decoking operations. Run length extension leads to huge economic profit based on higher throughput to the
    unit by minimizing shutdown for mechanical pigging or reduced capacity for online spalling.

    • Improves heat transfer efficiency due to minimum coke deposition. Therefore, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are
    reduced.

    • Reduces maintenance costs for decoking

    • Increases safety and equipment reliability avoiding hotspots and reducing number of shutdowns and start-ups

    Dimension range
    Tubacoat for anti-coking applications is applied on internal surface of tubes and fittings. It can be supplied for a dimension range
    from ¾” up to 10” OD. Fittings such as return bends, reducers, elbows and flanges can also be coated.

    Anti-coking properties
    Tubacoat chemical inertness minimizes coking reactions that are promoted by steel surface, thus minimizes
    formation of coke. Besides, due to Tubacoat glass finishing, coke formed continue to flow downstream. Field
    experience has proved that coke deposits are reduced 3 times on average compared to non-coated tubes.
