Abstract: Systems and methods for particle leak detection generally include a separation or collection device configured to filter particulate from a stream and a detection device downstream of the separation or collection device. The detection device can be positioned to detect particulate that passes the separation or collection device and can include a probe configured to detect the solid particles. The particle leak detection systems can be configured to be disposed on moveable systems, such as moveable systems in coke oven operations.

Abstract: Systems and apparatuses for neutralizing acidic compounds in flue gases emitted from a heat recovery coke oven. A representative system includes a spray dry absorber having a barrel that includes a plurality of wall plates that form sidewalls of the barrel. The wall plates include a steel plate and a corrosion resistant alloy cladded to the steel plate and the wall plates are oriented such that the corrosion resistant alloy faces toward and is in fluid communication with an interior area of the barrel. The alloy is resistant to corrosion caused by the acidic compounds in the flue gas and can prevent the steel plate from being corroded by these acidic compounds.
