Petroleum Coke Energy Systems
Petro Energy Man provides integrated engineering solutions for converting petroleum coke into useful steam and thermal energy.
Rather than treating the boiler as an isolated equipment item, the complete fuel-to-energy chain is evaluated.
Integrated Process
Petcoke Receipt → Storage → Fuel Preparation → Fuel Feeding → Combustion → Steam Generation → Heat Recovery → Ash Handling → Flue Gas Treatment → Stack
Fuel Preparation
Depending on combustion technology, preparation may include:
Crushing
Sizing
Screening
Storage
Controlled Feeding
Combustion System
The combustion system is engineered to provide:
Stable Ignition
Effective Fuel Distribution
Adequate Residence Time
High Carbon Burnout
Controlled Furnace Temperature
Steam Generation
Recovered heat is transferred to the boiler pressure parts for generation of process or utility steam.
Heating surfaces may include:
Water Walls
Evaporator
Superheater
Economizer
Ash Handling
The system may require:
Bottom Ash Removal
Fly Ash Collection
Ash Conveying
Ash Storage
Flue Gas Treatment
Depending on sulfur, ash and emission requirements, downstream systems may include:
Particulate Removal
SOx Control
NOx Control
Flue Gas Monitoring
Engineering Objective
The overall objective is to maximize useful energy recovery while maintaining:
Combustion Stability
Pressure-Part Reliability
Manageable Fouling
Acceptable Erosion
Environmental Compliance
Long-Term Availability
