JOHN H. SM/TH United States Patent O 3,173,852 MANUFACTURE F PETROLEUM COKE John H. Smith, Ponca City, lda., assigner to Continental Oil Company, Ponca City, Dkla., a corporation of Delaware Filed Apr. 25, 1962, Ser. No. 1%,082 2 Claims. (Cl. 298-46) This invention relates to the manufacture of petroleum coke. More particularly, it relates to the use of coke lines recovered from the coke manufacturing operations to provide fuel for the calcining of the green coke produced during the delayed coking step. Still more par* ticularly, the invention relates to the uidization of recovered colte iines or dust and the use of the iiuidized fines as fuel for the calcining step.
In the delayed coking process, a petroleum fraction iS heated to a temperature at which it will thermally decompose. The oil is then fed into a drum under Sufficient pressure to prevent at least the heavier fractions of the oil from vaporizing until they have partially decomposed. This thermal decomposition produces a very heavy tar which undergoes additional decomposition depositing a porous coke mass in the drum.
,In the usual application of the delayed colring process, residual oil is heated by exchanging heat with the liquid yproducts from the process and is fed into a fractionating tower where any light products which might remain in the residual oil are distilled out. The oil is then pumped through a furnace where it is heated to the required temt perature and discharged into the bottom of the coke drum. The first stages of thermal decomposition reduce this oil to some volatile products plus a very heavy tar or pitch which further decomposes to yield solid coke. The
vapors formed during this decomposition produce pores and channels in the coke thru which the incoming oil from the furnace may pass. This process is continued until the drum is filled with a mass of coke. The vapors formed in the process leave from the top of the drum and are returned to the fractionating tower where they are fractionated into the desired cuts.
The attrition associated with removing petroleum coke from delayed coking drums and the subsequent coke handling and calcining produces a considerable amount of undersized coke lines. Prior to development of this invention, these fines constituted a disposal problem,
This invention provides a method for using recovered coke fines in uidized form as fuel for the coke calcining step.
It is an object of this invention to provide a method of disposing of coke fines that normally are entrained in the flue gases exiting from a petroleum coke calciner.
It is a further object of this invention to reduce fuel costs for the calcining step of a combined coker-calciner operation.
It is a further object to provide improved calciner kiln performance resulting in higher lriln throughput and more thorough calcination i Broadly stated, the invention is a process for producing petroleum coke which comprises subjecting a heavy petroleum residue -to coking conditions of temperature and pressure, recovering and calcining the green coke, recovering the coke lines (or dust) from the calciner flue gas, fluidizing said coke fines, and burning said fluidized coke fines in the calciner kiln to provide a major portion of the fuel requirements.
In the drawings:
lFIGURE 1 is a flow diagram showing the process of the present invention beginning with the introduction of raw coke charge into the calciner kiln.
FIGURE 2 is a side elevation of the fluidizing pot shown in lFIGURE 1.
3,l73,852 Patented Mar'. i5, 1965 dce Selection of suitable charge stocks for coking operations is well known in the art. The principal charging stocks are high boiling virgin or cracked petroleum residua such as: virgin reduced crude; bottoms from the vacuum distillation or reduced crudes, hereinafter referred to as vacuum reduced residuum; Duosol extract; thermal tar; and other heavy residua. -Blends of these materials are often used to provide a feed which will provide a suitable coke having a suiiiciently low sulfur content.
As indicated above, the preferred coking process is the well-known delayed coking process. in this process, which is one of the most commonly-used and most economical at the present time, the charge stock is pumped at i250 to 500 p.s.i. into a furnace where it is preheated to 850 to 950 and then discharged into a vertical coking drum through an inlet at the base. The pressure in the drum is maintained at 20 to 80 psi., and the drum is Well insulated to minimize heat loss, so that the reaction temperature lies between about 830 F. and 900 F. The hot charge stock decomposes over a period of several hours, liberating hydrocarbon vapors which rise through the mass continuously, stirring the contents of the coking drum vigorously.
After removing the coke from the drum (usually `by means of a high impact Water jet), the coke is broken into lumps and is calcined, generally at a temperatureof 1000 C. to l500 C. l
The colring operations whereby the raw coke calciner charge is produced comprise the standard coking process known as delayed colring, and no claim is made to such process per se.
The preferred mode of operation is illustrated in the flow diagram of 'FIGURE l. lThe raw coke charge is introduced to the calciner 1 at point 2 and ows downwardly through the rotating kiln countercurrently to the flow of -hot gas and passes out of the calciner at 3. The hot ilue gases containing entrained lines leave kiln 1 through feed end housing 4 and line S and enter cyclone separator 6 which is a cylindrical vessel with a coneshaped lower portion. (Actually more than one such separator may be used in parallel.) The gases are introduced horizontally and tangentially to the inside surface of the cyclone. The fines drop to the bottom and are cooled in fines cooler 7 from which they are moved by conveyor 1 3 into elevator 9.
The coke iines from the top of elevator 9 pass by means of a chute `lil into standpipe column 11 which is of suieient diameter to convey the required amount of lines and of suh'icient height to permit the column of, fines to Vbuild suiicient static pressure to flow into lluidiz-ing pot i12. The lines pass downwardly -through standpipe column 11 to the iluidizing pot or vessel 12 wherein they are iiuidized by means of air supplied through line 13 from compressor 20 and air rate control means 21. Air is also introduced into the column il at points rfi-1, A-Z, A-S, and .Ar-4 in order to facilitate the even flow of fines by providing sulilcient cushioning gas between the particles to lprevent compaction and bridging. These additional amounts of air preferably are introduced into the column at a downward angle of approximately 45 as shown in FIGURE il. Although the number of points of air introduction and the amount of air flow utilized are largely matters of engineering design, I prefer to have the points of injection about 12 feet apart and add just enough air at each point to overcome the increase in static head compression from the next 'point higher to maintain nearly constant bulk density throughout the standpipe.
Referring to FIGURE Y2, coke nes passing downwardly through column 11 enter the fluidizing pot a short distance above a perforated plate 19. Y A constant but adjustable source of air is supplied to the lower section of the uidizing pot below the perforated plate through line 13. The air passes through holes in the perforated plate into the upper section of the fluidizing pot, wherein the fines are fluidized by the air stream and carried out of the pot to the firing end of the kiln through line 16.
Typical operating conditions (for 300 tons/day of calcined coke):
Fines recovered: 14 tons/ day Fines burned (range): -22 tons/ day Fines burned (preferred range): 12-17 tons/day Air rate of fluidizing pot: 100 standard cubic feet per minute Fuel gas rate to kiln: 15,000-20,000 standard cubic feet per hour The lines rate to the uidizing pot 12 is regulated by an automatically operated plug valve 22 in the base of the column f1-1. This valve is operated by a pressure controlled system comprising pressure recorder controller 23, which is responsive to the pressure inside the fluidizing pot by means of line 24. Pressure recorder controller 23 actuates valve 2.2 through impulse line 25. If the pressure in the pot, which with constant rate of air supply through pipe 13 is a measure of the fines rate in line 16, increases beyond the predetermined set pressure indicating a high lines rate, the pressure control system causes the plug valve 22 to close somewhat thereby partially reducing the fines rate. A low pressure in the fluidizing pot has the opposite effect. Y
Referring once again to FIGURE l, the uidized nes line 16 enters the secondary air duct 26 just outside the firing hood 27. This line 16 continues inside the secondary air duct, terminating just short of the inside face of the firing hood. Thus the fines are blown into the ring end of the kiln above the fuel gas inlet 28. In the kiln, the fines, picking up heat radiated by the hot coke and kiln liner and passing through the fuel gas flame, are ignited and burned to provide the major portion of the heat required for the calcining operation,
In addition to disposing of coke fines (which constitute a low value or even a nuisance waste material) and reducing fuel costs by cutting down the required amount of fuel gas to the kiln, this process improves kiln performance by widening the Zone of high temperature in the kiln. This is due to the fact that fines burn slower. than gas or oil resulting in a longer section of the kilnrbeingA at the maximum allowable kiln temperature, thereby increasing residence time at the highest temperature. The overall effect results in more thorough calcination at any given rate of throughput or more throughput at any given level of calcination.
Another advantage of this process is an increase in coke yield. In certain prior art systems, the burning of fuel gas alone does not spread out the heat release sufficiently for good calcination, so that it is necessary to burn a por'- tion of the coke itself toprovide part of the heat. The present process eliminates 'this need, because, as indicated above, the burning of the coke nes is slow enough to result in a widening of the hot zone in the kiln.
Although, in the process just described, air is used for iiuidizing and conveying the coke nes from the uidizing pot to the kiln, any gaseous medium could be used, and, in some specific instances, a fuel gas might be preferred.
While specic details of the preferred mode of operation have been given in the foregoing for purposes of illustration, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereby, but is to be taken as limited solely by the language of the appended claims.
