A closed, gastight
system for gaining sellable
petroleum coke pieces out of solidified
petroleum coke in a
coke drum unit, wherein the
system is configured to be connected to a coke drum unit (X) containing solidified
petroleum coke and comprisesa coke crushing unit (C) for crushing the
petroleum coke into sellable
petroleum coke pieces, configured to be connected to the coke drum unit (X), particularly by means of a flexible transition piece (A);a closed
sluice way (D) leading
petroleum coke slurry to a closed
slurry basin;a closed
slurry basin (E);a
dewatering bin unit (G) configured to receive the petroleum coke slurry from the slurry basin (E), to collect the sellable petroleum coke pieces, and to act as a filter leading runoff drain water from a lower area thereof as filtered water and petroleum coke fines out of it;a closed drain water basin (I), separate from the slurry basin (E), configured to receive the filtered water and the petroleum coke fines from the
dewatering bin unit (G);a water tank (L) configured to receive the filtered water from the drain water basin (I);a hot quench water draining line (2) configured to receive hot quench water from the coke drum unit (X) and to lead the same to the closed slurry basin (E); andcharacterised:in that the water tank (L) is configured as single water tank (L) without a separate second tank; andby comprising one or more of the following elements:a first vent collection line (15a) extending from a top portion of the closed slurry basin (E) to the
clean water tank (L), particularly a top portion thereof, for collecting excess amounts of gaseous phase from the slurry basin (E) and for feeding the same to the
clean water tank (L);a second vent collection line (15b) extending from the
dewatering bin unit (G), particularly a top portion thereof, to the
clean water tank (L), particularly a top portion thereof, for collecting excess amounts of gaseous phase from the dewatering bin unit (G) and for feeding the same to the clean water tank (L); anda third vent collection line (15c) extending from the closed drain water basin (I), particularly a top portion thereof, to the clean water tank (L), particularly a top portion thereof, for collecting excess amounts of gaseous phase from the closed drain water basin (I) and for feeding the same to the clean water tank (L);and by comprising a fourth vent collection line (15d) extending from the water tank (L), particularly a top portion thereof, to a vent
treatment unit, in particular to a vent
incineration unit.
