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.
Claims20
A particulate detection system for use in an industrial facility, comprising:
- a separation or collection device including a baghouse configured to filter particulate from an industrial gas stream including at least one of coal dust or coke dust;
- a detection device downstream of the separation or collection device, wherein the detection device is positioned to detect particulate of the industrial gas stream that passes the separation or collection device, the detection device including a probe configured to detect the particulate,
- wherein the detection device is configured to generate an action when a current associated with the detection device is outside a predetermined range, and
- wherein the separation or collection device and the detection device are positioned on a moveable system, the movable system being a pusher charger machine (PCM) configured to charge a coke oven.
A method for detecting particulate in an industrial gas facility, comprising:
- positioning a detection device downstream of a separation or collection device configured to filter coal dust or coke dust from an industrial gas stream, wherein the separation or collection device and the detection device are positioned on a moveable pusher charger machine (PCM);
- detecting particulate via a wireless probe of the detection device, the particulate including coal dust, coke dust, or a combination thereof;
- and
- generating an action based on a current associated with the detected particulate being above a predetermined threshold.
A method for detecting particulate in an industrial gas facility, comprising:
- positioning a detection device downstream of a separation or collection device configured to filter coal dust or coke dust from an industrial gas stream;
- detecting particulate via a wireless probe of the detection device;
- and
- generating an action based on a current associated with the detected particulate being above a predetermined threshold, wherein generating the action based on the current associated with the detected particulate includes de-energizing an output relay of the detection device to generate an indication.
