As of the end of September, the coking unit at Shijiazhuang Refining & Chemicals had been operating steadily for 17 consecutive months, setting a new record for the longest operational period of this unit. 　　As a set of heavy oil treatment equipment, petroleum coking units are crucial for enhancing a company’s ability to handle various raw materials and expanding the diversity of its products. Since the plant began operations in 2021, the company has assembled a team of technical experts to focus on extending the plant’s operational lifespan as a key objective. 　　The plant made fine adjustments to various key parameters of the coking unit in order to continuously improve its operating conditions. A performance evaluation system linked to long-term operational goals was established, which effectively motivated the teams working at the plant. Team competitions based on key performance indicators were organized to foster a competitive atmosphere and help improve the overall skill level of the employees. A hierarchical inspection system for operators, professional engineers, and management staff was implemented, enabling comprehensive monitoring of the equipment’s operating status and ensuring that any potential issues are identified and addressed promptly, thus laying a solid foundation for stable operations. 　　At present, Shilian is carrying out coke cleaning operations for each furnace in the coking unit, further improving management. With ensuring the safe and stable operation of the unit as a prerequisite, it continues to optimize its performance in order to make greater contributions to the high-quality development of the enterprise.
