Abstract
A withdrawal system for withdrawing particulate matter from a high-temperature unit of a high-temperature industrial process is disclosed. The withdrawal system comprises a material storage silo that comprises a vent line containing a first vent valve, one or more temperature sensors to measure temperature of the particulate matter in the material transfer line, and a controller that receives output measurements from the one or more temperature sensors to monitor and control flow of the particulate matter. The system does not contain a receiving vessel located in the material transfer line between the high-temperature unit and the material storage silo.
Claims11
A withdrawal system for withdrawing particulate matter from a high-temperature unit of a high-temperature industrial process, said withdrawal system comprising:
- (a) a material storage silo that comprises a vent line containing a first vent valve and wherein the material storage silo further comprises vacuum ejector;
- (b) a material transfer line that connects the high-temperature unit to the material storage silo;
- (c) one or more temperature sensors to measure temperature of the material transfer line;
- and (d) a controller that receives output measurements from the one or more temperature sensors to monitor and control flow of the particulate matter, wherein the withdrawal system does not contain a receiving vessel located in the material transfer line between the high-temperature unit and the material storage silo.
