Abstract
A coke drum measurement system includes a first target coupled to an upper aspect of a coke drum and a second target arranged generally perpendicular to the first target. A first optical measurement device is arranged to visualize the first target and measure a distance between the first optical measurement device and the first target. A second optical measurement device is arranged to visualize the second target and measure a distance between the second optical measurement device and the second target. A processor is electrically coupled to the first optical measurement device and the second optical measurement device. The processor receives signals from the first optical measurement device and the second optical measurement device corresponding to movement of the coke drum. The processor aggregates signals received from the first optical measurement device and the second optical measurement device to determine a total movement of the coke drum.
