Dry quenching of coke employs balanced control of air, water mist, inert gas and steam introductions

摘要

Red hot coke (9) is introduced into the top of the quenching tower (1). It is cooled by transfer of its heat to an inert gas flow in the cooling chamber. Heat is recovered in the form of steam; also water and/or steam (26) and air (24) are blasted into the upper space of the ante-chamber (3) An Independent claim is included for the corresponding dry-quenching plant for coke.
