Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present technology is generally directed to systems and methods for improving quenched coke recovery. More specifically, some embodiments are directed to systems and methods utilizing one or more of a screen, barrier, or reflector panel to contain or redirect coke during or after quenching. In a particular embodiment, a quench car system for containing coke includes a quench car having a base, a plurality of sidewalls, and a top portion. The system can further include a permeable barrier covering at least a portion of the top of the quench car, wherein the permeable barrier has a plurality of apertures therethrough.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A coke quenching system, comprising: a quench car having an open upper end portion and a plurality of sidewalls for containing coke; and a quench tower configured to supply fluid for quenching coke, wherein the quench tower includes a deflection barrier having a free distal end portion that is positioned over the quench car, adjacent but in a spaced-apart relationship with the open upper end portion of the quench car, and having an opposing portion, opposite the free distal end portion, that is coupled directly to a wall of the quench tower, wherein the deflection barrier comprises a permeable barrier and is configured to deflect particulate coke that exits the quench car back into the quench car. 2. The coke quenching system of claim 1 wherein the quench tower includes a nozzle, and wherein the deflection barrier comprises an angled deflection plate coupled to or positioned below the nozzle. 3. The coke quenching system of claim 1 wherein the quench tower includes a plurality of nozzles directed toward the quench car, and wherein the deflection barrier is positioned above the nozzles. 4. The coke quenching system of claim 1 wherein the deflection barrier comprises a plurality of vertical draping barriers. 5. The coke quenching system of claim 1 wherein the deflection barrier comprises a movable barrier. 6. The coke quenching system of claim 1 , wherein deflection barrier comprises a plurality of confining plates. 7. The coke quenching system of claim 6 wherein the confining plates extend laterally inward toward an interior portion of the quench tower and are angled relative to a horizontal plane. 8. The coke quenching system of claim 1 wherein the quench tower includes a plurality of nozzles directed toward the quench car, and wherein the deflection barrier comprises a permeable barrier positioned at or below the nozzles. 9. The coke quenching system of claim 1 wherein the deflection barrier comprises a chain mesh.
