From the clean water tank L, the gaseous phase of the water/the steam which typically contains coke particles which collects therein is not released into the environment via one or more vents, which is the case for other systems, but rather is fed to a vent treatment unit (not shown), for example a vent incineration unit.
- a vent treatment unit not shown
- the operation of the coke drum unit X is normally a cyclic operation of typically 18 to 24 hours of coking followed by a stage called decoking.
- so called petroleum coke is produced and settles as solid agglomerate in the coke drum unit X, while other products of this process leave the coke drum unit X at the top for further treatment. This is continued until the coke drum unit X is filled with solid petroleum coke to a defined level.
- this solid/solidified petroleum coke needs to be removed from the coke drum unit X.
- the agglomerated and solidified petroleum coke is cut by means of high-pressure cutting water taken from the water tank L and supplied to the coke drum unit X through the cutting pump water line 14 and by means of the cutting pump R.
- the system ECHO as shown in figure 1 is designed to handle the coke as a zero-emission reliable and safe system.
- the system ECHO is capable to crush petroleum coke, by means of the coke crushing unit C, then route it as slurry, which is to be understood as a mixture of crushed coke particles and water from the coke drum unit X through the transition piece A, through the coke crushing unit C and through the closed sluice way D to the slurry basin E, to the dewatering bin unit G. Finally, sellable coke pieces get from the dewatering bin unit G through the coke discharge to the vibration feeder H and from there to the coke storage area.
- the system ECHO as it is described here provides a highly efficient separation of coke from water and produces clean water to be reused in the decoking process.
- the system ECHO is typically a batch process which is operated in four process stages, namely:
- quench water is supplied from the water tank L through the quench water supply line 1 by the operation of the quench water pump S to the coke drum unit X, which is closed at its bottom, until the quench water stands up to 40 meter high in the coke drum unit.
- the hot solidified petroleum coke in the coke drum unit has typically a temperature of up to 550°C before the quenching is started.
- the water cools down the coke and in turn heats up and partially evaporates.
- the hydrostatic pressure inside the coke drum (height up to 60m) can lead to a pressure of up to 6 bar, which can result in water temperatures of up to 165°C without evaporating.
- the coke drum unit X is drained through the header (not shown) such that this hot quench water flows into the hot water draining line 2. Cooling water is fed from the water tank L by the operation of the transport water pump M to the joining point JP within the hot water draining line 2. For this purpose, the valve V1 is opened.
- the water in the water tank L is typically at a temperature of around 60 to 80°C.
- an air cooler N provided in the cooling water line 3
- the temperature of the cooling water flow can be reduced to be in the range of around 50 to 70°C.
- the mixing unit B provides for a constant flow downstream thereof and can be controlled such that the temperature of the water flow leaving the mixing unit at its downstream end is below 100°C at atmosphere level, particularly at a temperature of 85-95°C or less such that the cooled down quench water arriving in the slurry basin E remains liquid and does not evaporate, thereby reliably preventing steam generation within the slurry basin E.
- the operational stage of hydraulic coke drilling/cutting starts with drilling a pilot whole into the solidified petroleum coke (drilling/cutting means are not shown).
- High pressure water that is supplied through the cutting water line 14 by means of the cutting pump R is used for the drilling step and to cut the coke in the coke drum unit X.
- the cut coke falls down through the transition piece A and is crushed by the coke crushing unit C down to a particle size of maximum 100 mm.
- the crushed coke/water mixture flows, through the closed sluice way into the slurry basin E.
- a highly specialised slurry pump F conveys the mixture of coke and water through the slurry line 5 to the dewatering bin G.
- the coke particles in the mixture will be trapped and retained in the coke bed in the dewatering bin unit G, while the drain water drains off from the dewatering bin unit G through the drain water supply line 6 into the drain water basin 1.
- the slurry pump F is configured to be capable of transporting slurry having a coke/water ratio of 1 to 2 without plugging.
- the main function of the dewatering bin G is to separate coke from water by a filtering process.
- a coke bed is formed within the dewatering bin unit G, and coke fines in the slurry are retained by the coke bed, while the clean water drains off into the drain water basin 1 through the drain water supply line 6.
- water drains through filter elements in an upper and lower collection ring attached to the dewatering bin unit G.
- the dewatering bin unit G is typically equipped with filtration screens, which are uniformly placed along its inner wall.
- the filtrate quality improves, and the drain water flows from the dewatering bin unit G, through the drain water supply line 6 to the drain water basin 1, until the end of the dewatering stage.
- the lower part of the dewatering bin unit G can be equipped with a conical screen, which is connected with a lower dewatering ring line which can also be called core dewatering line.
- the hydraulic head generated between the outlet to the drain water supply line 6 of the dewatering bin unit G and the drain water basin 1 induces a negative pressure in the core dewatering line which supports the water flow through the voids of coarse coke material.
- the drain water flow will reduce over time and approach a flow rate of 0 m 3 /h.
- the coke can be considered dry and ready for discharge.
- the coke product will be discharged from the dewatering bin unit G to the coke conveyor system via a load out vibration feeder H to a conveying system and subsequently to storage facilities of sellable petroleum coke (not shown).
- the drain water from the dewatering bin unit G especially during the beginning of the dewatering stage, contains a substantial amount of coke fines that need to be removed by further water treatment before being able to reuse the water.
- the drain water from the dewatering bin unit G including the coke fines is received in the drain water basin 1.
- the drain water pump K pumps it through the hydrocyclone Q, which is a centrifugal separation device, to the water tank L via the clean water supply line 8.
- the hydrocyclone Q which is a centrifugal separation device
- coke fines and solids from the drain water are separated and are directed through the dirty water supply line 9 to the dirty water pit O.
- the slush contained therein is pumped by the dirty water pump P and through the slush/dirty water supply line 11 to the dewatering bin unit G, where the coke fines and solids are trapped and retained in the coke filter bed and are effectively removed from the process.
- the water that has been filtered/purified by the hydrocyclone Q is received in the water tank L which serves as the water inventory for the process.
- the solid particles that are still comprised in the water are collected at its bottom portion, particularly at its low point. This low point is drained through the solid particle discharge line 10 to the dirty water pit O e.g. in regular intervals.
- the water from the water tank L can be used as high-pressure cutting water (line 14), as quench water (line 1), or as cooling and transport water (cooling line 3).
- the coke drum unit X comprises two or more sets of a coke drum X, of a transition piece A, of a coke crushing unit C, of a closed sluiceway D and of a hot quench water draining line 2.
- the dewatering bin unit G can comprise two or more dewatering bins G.
