摘要:
A sealed portable industrial furnace for optimizing the concurrent production of charcoal, fuel gas, pyroligneous extract and tar includes an upright metallic body for receiving wood or biomass. A cover is mounted to the upper end of the upright body and the pressure relief system is incorporated into the cover. A perforated base structure is attached to the lower end of the upright body, and a discharge valve is incorporated into the base structure and is closed during production of the charcoal and then is opened to unload the charcoal produced. A support skirt encircles the base structure to support the body in upright position and defines an expansion chamber for the accumulation of combustion gases generated by the furnace. A series of inlet openings are located along the height of the upright body through which combustion air may be introduced under the action of a control system which receives temperate data from temperature monitoring devices located along the height of the body.
摘要:
This patent of invention is related to a process and a furnace developed for production of charcoal with recovery of gases, tar and pyroligneous extract. The unity system is composed by a metallic furnace, a loading platform, a carbonization platform and unloading platform. For continuous generation of gases, the process operates with multiple carbonization platforms and one or more furnaces for carbonization platform. The furnace is provided with air inputs in strategic side points and mechanism for relieving pressure. The carbonization system is composed by an exhauster, special pipes for conducting the gases, and devices for the recovery of condensable. The gases generated in the process are directed to a burner, a gasifier or directly in a boiler to generate thermal and/or electrical energy. The technology presents, exclusively, a gravimetric yield in fuel gas superior to 60% and a productivity on charcoal above 800 kg/h, so that each operating cycle of the furnace takes less than 5 hours. The coal is discharged hot, after carbonization and loaded on wooden billets immediately after unloading. The process combines technical, economic, operational, and environmentally viable solutions.

A method and apparatus for quenching metallurgical coke made in a coking oven. The method includes pushing a unitary slab of incandescent coke onto a substantially planar receiving surface of an enclosed quenching car so that substantially all of the coke from the coking oven is pushed as a unitary slab onto the receiving surface of the quenching car. The slab of incandescent coke is quenched in an enclosed environment within the quenching car with a plurality of water quench nozzles while submerging at least a portion of the slab of incandescent coke by raising a water level in the quenching car. Subsequent to quenching the coke, the planar receiving surface is tilted to an angle sufficient to slide the quenched coke off of the planar receiving surface and onto a product collection conveyer and sufficient to drain water from the quenched coke.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for transporting and quenching coke, useful in quenching a batch of coke produced in one of a plurality of coke ovens forming a coke oven battery, is disclosed. A hot car defining a substantially planar receiving surface is positioned adjacent a coke oven of the coke oven battery, and a unitary cake of unquenched coke is placed onto the hot car receiving surface. The hot car and unquenched coke are transported to a transfer station having a dust collection system. A quenching car is positioned at the transfer station adjacent the hot car, under the dust collection system. The unitary cake of unquenched coke is dumped into the quenching car receptacle, thereby separating the unitary cake. At least a portion of the dust generated by separation is collected. The quench car is then transported to a quenching station, where the separated coke is quenched.
摘要:
A system that reduces worker exposure during coke drum unheading and cutting operations and that reduces risk to workers also provides a capacity increase in that the time a coke drum is not being filled is reduced. This system employs a containment shield that safely permits drainage through the bottom head and contains water and coke avalanches.
摘要:
The metal stresses in a delayed coke drum are reduced by externally cooling the coke drum near the junction of the drum shell and the supporting skirt thereof during the quench step. This reduces the metal stresses at the area around the welds of the drum skirt.
摘要:
A process for utilizing waste heat and producing water gas during cooling of red-hot coke, in two stages, is indicated. In a first, dry cooling stage, a mixture of water gas and steam passes the coke charge, is recooled in a heat sink and recirculated into the first cooling stage, whereby it is possible to take off a part quantity of the gas mixture. In a second, wet cooling stage, water is fed into a quench zone and the steam formed is passed through the coke charge partially into the first cooling stage and partially released into the surroundings or fed back into the second cooling stage or partly released into the surroundings and partly fed back into the second cooling stage. Both the mixture of water gas and steam in the first cooling stage and the quench water or the steam formed from it in the second cooling stage are passed through the coke charge from the inside outwards.
摘要:
A process for extracting hydrocarbons from oil shale comprising the steps of subjecting oil shale under superatmospheric pressure in the presence of hydrogen and steam, to low temperature hydrogenating distillation; separating the resulting fluid distillation mixture into liquid and gaseous products; and returning water and hydrogen separated from the fluid distillation mixture to the low temperature distillation; in which:heat is drawn-off from the hot oil shale, after treatment in a low temperature hydrogenating distillation reactor, by the shale being sprayed wtih water whereby saturated steam is produced in decreasing pressure stages;the saturated steam of the pressure stages and water extracted during product separation are fed into the individual stages of a multi-stage compressor driven by a gas turbine, and are then delivered via a steam supply line to the reactor;the gas turbine is fuelled by supplying separated-off gaseous distillation products thereto; andthe exhaust gases of the gas turbine are fed to a heat exchanger arranged in the steam supply line.
摘要:
A process for utilizing waste heat and for obtaining water gas during the cooling of incandescent coke ejected from a chamber oven is described, this process being in two stages. In the first stage, the coke is dry-cooled with a mixture of water gas and water vapor as the cooling gas. This is circulated, and from the circuit the desired waste heat and the desired water gas are extracted. In the second stage, the coke is wet-cooled with water. The water vapor formed is taken off and returned to the environment and/or to the second stage.An apparatus is described for carrying out the process, and this apparatus has, located under one another, a filling shaft (1), a pre-chamber (2), a cooling chamber (3), a quenching chamber (4) with a water-spray device (5), an extraction housing (6) and a discharge shaft (7), and is equipped with a cooling-gas discharge line (19) leading away from the cooling chamber (3) and, in succession, a coarse separator (20), a heat sink (21), a blower (23), a cooling-gas delivery line (25) to the cooling chamber (3), an extraction line (26) leading away from the cooling-gas delivery line (25) with a throttling device (27), and a take-off line (34) which leads away from the extraction housing (6) and which leads to a cyclone separator (35), a blower (36) and an exhaust steam pipe (38) with a throttling device (37) and/or to a return line (39) with a throttling device (40).
