Abstract

A coke quench car emission control system includes a coke car and a filter car connected in tandem for joint movement on rails disposed adjacent a coke oven. A hood and recuperator are mounted on a third car disposed on auxiliary rails which extend longitudinally along the upper portions of both the quench car and the filter car and in end-wise alignment. The hood is adapted to be coupled to the coke oven for receiving coke during a pushing operation. The recuperation has an inlet coupled to the hood for receiving emissions and withdrawing heat therefrom. The recuperator also has an outlet which is disposed adjacent the inlet of a filter system mounted on the filter car, when the third car is positioned atop the quench car. The third car is sized so that it can be moved on the auxiliary rails from a position atop the quench car to a position atop the filter car whereby the quench car can be exposed for a quenching operation.

Dependent claims

A system for capturing emissions from coke as it is pushed from an oven including:

a first transporter movable in a path adjacent said oven,
coke receiving means and gas cleaning means mounted adjacent each other on said first transporter,
guide means mounted on said first transporter and extending over said coke receiving means and said gas cleaning means,
a second transporter mounted on said guide means and movable thereon from a first position above said coke receiving means to a second position above said gas cleaning means,
said second transporter having hood means mounted thereon, said coke receiving means being open at its upper end for receiving coke, said hood means being open at its lower end and sized to cover the opening in said coke receiving means,
said hood means also having a port for receiving coke from a coke oven,
and coupling means for coupling said hood means to said gas cleaning means
when said second transporter is positioned above said coke receiving means whereby emissions collected by said hood means are transmitted to said gas cleaning means,
the opening in said coke receiving means being exposed when said second transporter is in its second position to permit the coke and in said coke receiving means to be quenched.
