  • Apparatus for producing high VCM coke
    Patent number: 10000705
    Abstract: A process and apparatus for improving the production of coke having a high volatile combustible material content are disclosed. The process may include, for example: heating a coker feedstock to a coking temperature to produce a heated coker feedstock; contacting the heated coker feedstock with a quench medium to reduce a temperature of the heated coker feedstock and produce a quenched feedstock; feeding the quenched feedstock to a coking drum; subjecting the quenched feedstock to thermal cracking in the coking drum to (a) crack a portion of the quenched feedstock to produce a cracked vapor product, and (b) produce a coke product having a volatile combustible material (VCM) concentration in the range from about 13% to about 50% by weight, as measured by ASTM D3175.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 19, 2015
    Date of Patent: June 19, 2018
    Assignee: Catalytic Distillation Technologies
    Inventors: Ahmad Faegh, John E. Collins, Virendra Manral, Gary Reisen
