{longname} Q700. During the drum cooling process, off-gases from the delayed coking unit drums are sent to a blowdown system and the uncondensables are vented to a flare.  When using Equation Y-3, should this be considered a startup, shutdown, or malfunction (SSM) event since the drum is being taken out of service?
