SRC-I coal refinery. Task 1, Appendix D. Coker-calciner plant

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5630756

The Lummus Company has been engaged to conduct an engineering study of the coker/calciner system to be incorporated in the proposed SRC-I demonstration plant. Lummus's assignment during Phase 0 is to prepare a preliminary process design and a cost estimate for the coker/calciner system. The Delayed Coker/Calciner Plant will produce anode grade coke from deashed Solvent Refined Coal (SRC-I). Byproducts of this plant will include a light oil stream with 378/sup 0/F ASTM end point and a heavy oil stream with an Initial Boiling Point (IBP) of 373/sup 0/F. The description of the process can readily be followed by referring to the Process and Control Diagrams, and the simplified flow scheme. The Lummus delayed coking process was selected because of the extensive experience of Lummus over many years in designing both petroleum residue cokers and coal tar pitch coking units. The design and operation of coal tar pitch coking units are particularly relevant to the process and mechanical requirements of a delayed coker fed with solvent refined coal (SRC-I) in the liquid state.
