System For Quenching Hot Coke

US Patent:
4004985, Jan 25, 1977
Filed:
Sep 13, 1974
Appl. No.:
5/505855
Inventors:
William D. Edgar - Allison Park PA
John D. Sustarsic - McKees Rocks PA
Allan F. Adamsky - Washington PA
Assignee:
Koppers Company, Inc. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
C10B 3912
US Classification:
202230
Abstract:
A quenching track extends alongside of and away from a coke oven battery, and coke receiving apparatus is movable on the track to a remote location at which supporting structure for the coke receiving apparatus is located. Associated with the supporting structure is conveyor means onto which incandescent coke is discharged from the coke receiving apparatus. Coke on the conveyor means is quenched, and vapors arising from the coke during quenching are conveyed to a stack and are discharged to the atmosphere. Fumes arising from the coke receiving means during discharging of the coke are withdrawn into a gas scrubber and cleaned therein. From the scrubber the cleaned fumes are discharged to the stack and to the atmosphere. Various types of coke receiving means are disclosed, and various types of supporting means and arrangements of conveyors at the remote location are also disclosed.

One-Spot Rotary Coke Quenching Car

US Patent:
4135986, Jan 23, 1979
Filed:
Jan 24, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/871962
Inventors:
George R. Cain - Pittsburgh PA
Ward F. Gidick - West Newton PA
William D. Edgar - Allison Park PA
Assignee:
Koppers Company, Inc. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
C10B 3300, C10B 3910
US Classification:
202227
Abstract:
A generally cylindrical drum of heat stress and corrosion resistant construction, and having an opening therein, is rotatably mounted on a frame movable on rails along the coke side of the coke oven battery. A movable cover is fixed to the shell and covers the opening in the shell through which hot coke passes, when pushed from a coke oven chamber. A hood is fixed to the structure supporting a coke guide and has a movable portion that coacts with the rotatable shell when coke gravitates into the shell. The drum is rotatable to several positions. Means are included to quench the hot coke and to extract the particulate laden steam which is generated by the quenching operation. Additional means are included to remove noxious gases and particulate matter which emanates from the hot coke.
