Coke Drum Bottom Unheading Valve

DeltaValve’s bottom unheading valve permanently connects to the coke drum, creating a totally enclosed system from the coke drum to the discharge pit. Utilizing patented dynamic seat technology, the device is tight-sealing, robust, and highly reliable. With the push of a single button from a remote location, safe and reliable unheading can be achieved. The valve is inherently safe, easy to operate, and designed to be maintenance free between turnarounds.
