Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for producing coke that includes mixing at least a first and a second carbonaceous material into a single feedstock of carbonaceous material. The coking feasibility of the single feedstock of carbonaceous material is then determined. The single feedstock is customized into a predetermined material composition, and then the customized single feedstock is pyrolyzed to produce coke material and coke by-products. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
Claims8
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 and second source carbonaceous materials into a single feedstock of carbonaceous materials;
- beginning pyrolyzation of the single feedstock of carbonaceous materials;
- while pyrolyzing the single feedstock of carbonaceous materials, analyzing said single feedstock of carbonaceous materials to determine if pyrolyzing the single feedstock will produce a predetermined pyrolyzation output;
- after said analyzing, while continuing the pyrolyzing of the single feedstock of carbonaceous materials, customizing said single feedstock into a predetermined material composition to form a customized single feedstock;
- also while continuing the pyrolyzing of the single feedstock of carbonaceous materials, determining if further customizing of the single feedstock of carbonaceous materials is needed to produce the predetermined pyrolyzation output;
- and
- continuing the pyrolyzing of said customized single feedstock of carbonaceous materials in a pyrolyzer to produce coke material.
