Abstract
A method is disclosed, for producing coke in which at least a first and second source of carbonaceous materials are introduced as feedstock into a mixer. The materials are mixed into a single feedstock, and the single feedstock is analyzed to determine its coking feasibility. The single feedstock is pyrolyzed in a pyrolyzer to produce at least a coke material and a gaseous by-product. At least a portion of the gaseous by-product is used outside of the pyrolyzer. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
Claims12
A method for producing coke comprising:
- introducing a first source of carbonaceous material as a first feedstock into a mixer;
- introducing a second source of carbonaceous material as a second feedstock into the mixer;
- mixing at least the first source of carbonaceous material and the second source carbonaceous materials into a single feedstock of carbonaceous materials;
- pyrolyzing said single feedstock in a pyrolyzer to produce coke material;
- harnessing a gas by-product from said pyrolyzing, the gas by-product being utilized in the pyrolyzer to provide energy to the pyrolyzer, the gas by-product being analyzed to determine if excess gas by-product is provided from the pyrolyzer and, if so, the excess gas by-product being supplied to an energy provider outside of the pyrolyzer;
- and
- treating said gas before supplying at least a portion of it to the energy provider outside of the pyrolyzer.

A method for producing coke comprising:
- mixing at least a first carbonaceous material and a second carbonaceous material into a single feedstock of carbonaceous materials;
- determining coking feasibility of said single feedstock of carbonaceous materials;
- modifying said single feedstock into a predetermined material composition;
- and
- pyrolyzing said customized single feedstock in a pyrolyzer to produce coke material and coke by-products that are used outside of the pyrolyzer, the gas by-product being utilized in the pyrolyzer to provide energy to the pyrolyzer, the gas by-product being analyzed to determine if excess gas by-product is provided from the pyrolyzer and, if so, the excess gas by-product being supplied to an energy provider outside of the pyrolyzer.
