Description:TECHNICAL FIELD:

Present disclosure relates in general to a field of metallurgy. Particularly, but not exclusively, the present disclosure relates to quenching of coke. Further embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a method and a system for the quenching of coke in a coke oven plant.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE:

Coke is a solid carbon fuel and carbon source which is typically manufactured from coal and is used in numerous applications, for example, to melt and reduce iron ore in the production of steel. Coke ovens have been used for many years to convert coal into coke in a process known generally as “coking.” During the coking process, finely crushed coal is heated under controlled temperature conditions to devolatilize the coal and form a fused mass of coke known as a “cake” having a good porosity and strength. In one known process, coke used for refining metal ores is produced by batch feeding pulverized coal into an oven which is sealed and heated to high temperatures under closely controlled atmospheric conditions. Once a batch of coal is heated into caked coke, the coke is pushed from the coke oven and transported to a quenching apparatus, where the coke is quenched with water. Thereafter, the quenched coke may be screened and loaded onto suitable transportation devices for shipment to an end user. Because the production of coke is a batch process, multiple coke ovens are typically operated simultaneously in a configuration known as a “coke oven battery”.

Melting and fusion process undergone by the coal particles during the heating process is an important part of coking. The degree of melting and degree of assimilation of the coal particles into the molten mass determine the characteristics of the coke produced. In order to produce the strongest coke from a particular coal or coal blend, there is an optimum ratio of reactive to inert entities in the coal. The porosity and strength of the coke are important for the ore refining process and are determined by the coal source and/or method of coking.

Coal particles or a blend of coal particles are charged into hot ovens, and the coal is heated in the ovens in order to remove volatile matter (“VM”) from the resulting coke. The coking process is highly dependent on the oven design, the type of coal, and conversion temperature used. Typically, ovens are adjusted during the coking process so that each charge of coal is coked out in approximately the same amount of time. Once the coal is “coked out” or fully coked, the coke is removed from the oven and quenched with quenching liquid to cool it below its ignition temperature.

Quenching the burning coke with large quantities of quenching liquid creates additional problems. During quenching, the quenching liquid may encounter difficulty penetrating the intact coke loaf. The difficulty can lead to disadvantages including increased water usage, longer quench times that can cripple the throughput of the coke plant, excessive moisture levels in the coke, large variations in coke moisture, and increased risk of melting plant equipment if the coke is not cooled rapidly enough.

The present disclosure is directed to overcome one or more limitations stated above or any other limitations associated with the conventional arts.

Accordingly, it should be noted that the meanings of these terms or words should not improperly limit the technical scope of the present invention.

Referring now to FIG.1, a system for quenching the coke. The system includes a quenching tower (1) having an opening at a bottom portion thereof into which a quenching car (8) travels into and out of the quenching tower (1) on tracks (9) or rails. In an embodiment, a top portion of the quenching tower (1) may be configured to accommodate a fluid tank (2). The fluid tank (2) may be configured to store coolant fluid. One end of the fluid tank (2) may be fluidly connected to coolant fluid [hereafter referred to as fluid] source and another end of the fluid tank (2) may be fluidly connected to a fluid dispenser (7) [also referred and alternatively uses as dispenser (7)]. A plurality of valves (5 and 6) may be fluidly disposed in the fluid line connecting the fluid tank (2) to the fluid dispenser (7) and may be configured to selectively allow flow of fluid (3) from the fluid tank (2) to the fluid dispenser (7). In an embodiment, the plurality of valves (5 and 6) may be at least one of a butterfly valve, a check valve, a ball valve, and the like. The dispenser (7) may be an elongated tubular structure configured to accommodate one or more nozzles [not shown]. In an embodiment, the one or more nozzles may be at least one of a flat fan nozzle, an adjustable nozzle, a sprinkler, and the like. The system further includes, a temperature sensor (10) mounted proximal to the quenching tower (1). In an embodiment, the temperature sensor (10) is connected to an outer surface of the quenching tower (1). The temperature sensor (10) may be an infrared sensor such as but not limiting to a pyrometer. Further, the system includes a control unit (11) which may be communicatively coupled to the plurality of valves (5 and 6), the temperature sensor (10) and a receiver module (12). The quenching tower (1) may be configured to quench unquenched coke carried from a plurality of coke ovens.

Typically, the plurality of coke ovens forms a coke oven battery. The coke oven batteries may include the plurality of coke ovens arranged in a side-by-side configuration along a longitudinal dimension of the coke ovens. Each of the plurality of coke ovens defines an input portal and an outlet portal. In the coke making process, a mass of coal may be loaded into the coke oven batteries [i.e., each of the plurality of coke ovens] through the inlet portals and baked at higher temperatures ranging from 1250°C to 1350°C. Once the coke is “coked out” or fully coked, the resulting coke loaf [unquenched coke] may be removed from the coke oven batteries and may be transferred to the quenching car (8) [also referred to as train car, hot car] through the outlet portal to the quenching car (8). In an embodiment, each of the plurality of coke ovens may be configured such that the outlet portal may be aligned adjacent to the track (9) in a substantially linear configuration. In an embodiment, the said track (9) may extend between each of the plurality of coke ovens and the quenching tower (1). The track (9) traverses perpendicularly to the longitudinal dimension of each of the plurality of coke ovens such that the quenching car (8) may be movably between the quenching tower (1) and the plurality of coke ovens.

During the transfer of coke loaf from the each of the plurality of coke ovens to the respective quenching cars (8), the coke loaf may be partially cracked due to the difference in elevation between the quenching car (8) and the coke oven batteries. Cracking the hot coke loaf [herein referred to as unquenched coke] may result in significant separation, thus dispersing the unquenched coke into loose bulk coke. Such separation of the unquenched coke into loose bulk may assist in uniform quenching of the unquenched coke which may be elucidated hereinafter. The unquenched coke may then be transferred to the described quenching tower (1). The method of quenching the unquenched coke may be explained hereafter.

Referring to FIG(s).2 and 3 in conjunction with FIG.1, the method for quenching coke in accordance with the present disclosure is elucidated. The method includes detecting temperature of the unquenched coke carried by the quenching car (8) from the plurality of coke oven batteries. The temperature of the unquenched coke may be detected by the temperature sensor (10) which may be mounted to the quenching tower (1). The temperature sensor (10) may detect the temperature of the unquenched coke when the quenching car (8) reaches proximal to the quenching tower (1) [i.e., at an entry position]. In an embodiment, the temperature sensor (10) may be configured to detect/determine the temperature at a plurality of locations along a length of the quenching car (8) during the traversing of the quenching car (8) from the entry position to a quenching position. In an embodiment, the control unit (11) may be configured to receive the temperature signal from the temperature sensor (100. Based on the received temperature signal, the control unit (11) may be configured to determine a quenching time for quenching the unquenched coke.

Once the control unit (11) determines the quenching time, the control unit (11) may operate a plurality of valves (5 and 6) to dispense fluid (3) from the fluid tank (2) to the fluid dispenser (7). The fluid (3) may further be sprayed on to the unquenched coke to lessen/reduce the temperature of the coke. The fluid (3) may be evenly sprayed onto the unquenched coke to quench the same for the determined quenching time. Quenching the unquenched coke for the determined quenching time reduces the temperature of the coke to desired level and also aids in maintaining optimal moisture level in the coke for subsequent process. In an embodiment, a fluid level sensor (4) associated with the fluid tank (2) may be configured to detect the amount of fluid (3) in the fluid tank (2). After each quenching sequence, the control unit (11) may operate the fluid source to refill the fluid tank (2) with fluid (3) based on a signal triggered by the fluid level senor (4) associated with the control unit (11).

Upon completing the quenching process, the quenching car (8) may be voyaged from the quenching position to the exit position. At the exit position, temperature of the quenched coke that may be dispensed from the quenching tower (1) is determined by another temperature sensor [not shown]. In some embodiment, temperature of the quenched coke is determined on a conveyer carrying the quenched coke from the quenching station to other locations in the plant. The control unit (11) may be configured to generate a feedback signal corresponding to the determined temperature of the quenched coke [as indicated in FIG.3]. In an embodiment, the control unit (11) may be configured to calibrate the quenching time of a subsequent batch of unquenched coke based on the feedback signal. For instance, the temperature of the quenched coke dispensed from the quenching tower (1) may be less than the desired temperature. In this case, the control unit (11) may reduce the quenching time to maintain optimal temperature, vice versa, if the temperature of the quenched coke dispensed from the quenching tower (1) is more, the control unit (11) determines the same and increases the quenching time to obtain desired coke temperature.

In an embodiment, the control unit (11) may be configured to calibrate the quenching time based on various other parameters which will be elucidated hereinbelow. During the quenching process, the fluid (3) used for quenching may be transferred from the fluid tank (2) to the fluid dispenser (7) through the fluid carrying lines such as pipes. Over a period of time the fluid carrying lines may be subjected to sediment deposit which may affect the amount of water released from the fluid dispenser (7). In such cases, the quenching time for quenching the unquenched coke may be calibrated, as necessary. The control unit (11) may be configured to monitor the amount of fluid dispensed through the dispenser (7) and the fluid tank (2) ‘[i.e., lesser the amount of water dispensed more the sediment and vice-versa]. Accordingly, the control unit (11) may be configured to calibrate the quenching time based on the amount of fluid dispensed from the fluid tank (2).

Also, the control unit (11) may be configured to determine quenching time based on parameters such as but not limiting to at least one of distance between the quenching tower (1) and the coke oven batteries, condition of the coke oven batteries, condition of the quenching car (8) and the quenching car (8) reference number [as indicated in FIG.3]. The parameters disclosed above may be received by a receiver module (12) interfaced with the control unit (11). The receiver module (12) may be configured to receive the data corresponding to each of the plurality of coke ovens, the distance between the respective coke ovens of the plurality of coke ovens and the quenching tower (1), travel time, condition of the oven batteries and the like. The received data may be transferred to the control unit (11) which may then calibrate the quenching time as required. For example, the quenching time may be calibrated by the control unit (11) based on the distance between the coke ovens and the quenching tower (1). For instance, if the distance between the coke oven and the quenching tower (1) is less the quenching time required would be significantly higher than the quenching time for unquenched coke whose distance from the quenching tower (1) may be more. The said travel distance may affect the quenching time due to the natural cooling that takes places during the travel between the coke oven and the quenching tower (1). Similarly, the other factors described above also may be considered by the control unit (11) to determine the quenching time for the unquenched coke.

In an embodiment, the method of according to the present disclosure ensure efficient quenching of coke. The method of the present disclosure reduces amount of water used for quenching process and reduces environment pollution. The method optimally quenches the coke thereby ensuring optimal moisture content in the coke thus increasing plant yield. Also, fire accidents that may be caused may be avoided as the quenching is efficiently optimized by the method of present disclosure.

Such modifications and variations may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, it is intended that the present disclosure covers such modifications and variations provided they come within the ambit of the appended claims and their equivalents.
