Process and system for generation of coke drum outage projections

A method, comprising:

• obtaining sensor data from one or more sensors associated with one or more coke drums in a refinery implementing a delayed coking process for converting at least a portion of a feedstock to a product stream comprising coke;
• generating an outage projection for an end of a feed cycle of at least one of the one or more coke drums by processing, utilizing a machine learning model, information derived from at least a portion of the obtained sensor data characterizing (i) an amount of the feedstock which has been fed to said at least one of the one or more coke drums during the feed cycle, (ii) a time at which a level indicator for said at least one of the one or more coke drums first exceeds a designated threshold value, and (iii) a density of the feedstock fed to said at least one of the one or more coke drums during the feed cycle;
• and
• providing, at a user interface, the generated outage projection for the end of the feed cycle of said at least one of the one or more coke drums;
• wherein the method is performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes the at least one processing device:

• to obtain sensor data from one or more sensors associated with one or more coke drums in a refinery implementing a delayed coking process for converting at least a portion of a feedstock to a product stream comprising coke;
• to generate an outage projection for an end of a feed cycle of at least one of the one or more coke drums by processing, utilizing a machine learning model, information derived from at least a portion of the obtained sensor data characterizing (i) an amount of the feedstock which has been fed to said at least one of the one or more coke drums during the feed cycle, (ii) a time at which a level indicator for said at least one of the one or more coke drums first exceeds a designated threshold value, and (iii) a density of the feedstock fed to said at least one of the one or more coke drums during the feed cycle;
• and
• to provide, at a user interface, the generated outage projection for the end of the feed cycle of said at least one of the one or more coke drums.
