Tangential dispenser and system for use within a delayed coking system

A method of tangentially dispensing a petroleum residual byproduct into a reservoir vessel as part of a delayed coking process, said method comprising the steps of:

• supplying a delivery main with residual byproduct from a feed source;
• routing said residual byproduct throughout said delivery main;
• providing a plurality of feed lines in fluid connection with said delivery main and said reservoir vessel, said feed lines substantially tangential with said reservoir vessel and
• comprising a piped section in fluid connection with a port in said reservoir vessel wherein said feed lines are spaced an equidistance from one another around said delivery main;
• and
• dispensing said residual byproduct into said reservoir vessel in a tangential manner to provide even thermal distribution throughout said reservoir vessel during a manufacturing process, wherein said feed lines are offset from one another and spaced at varying intervals around said delivery main.

A tangential dispenser in a delayed coking system comprising:

• a delivery main in fluid connection with a reservoir vessel, wherein said delivery main extends around at least a portion of the reservoir vessel said delivery main comprising:
• an inlet, fluidly connected to a feed source;
• containing byproduct;
• a curved pipe segment extending from and in fluid connection with said inlet to further receive and deliver said byproduct;
• and
• a plurality of feed lines in fluid connection with said curved pipe segment and said reservoir vessel, said feed lines positioned substantially tangential with said reservoir vessel and comprise a piped section in fluid connection with a port in said reservoir vessel, said feed lines tangentially dispensing said residual byproduct into said reservoir vessel to provide even thermal distribution throughout said reservoir vessel during a process, wherein said feed lines are spaced an equidistance from one another around said delivery main.

A tangential injection system within a delayed coking system, said tangential injection system comprising:

• a spool fittable to a coke drum and a de-header valve;
• a tangential dispenser coupled to said spool, said tangential dispenser comprising:
• a delivery main in fluid connection with a reservoir vessel, said delivery main comprising:
• an inlet capable of receiving byproduct from a feed source;
• a curved pipe segment extending from and in fluid connection with said inlet to further receive and deliver said byproduct;
• a plurality of feed lines in fluid connection with said delivery main and said spool, said feed lines are tangential to said spool and comprise a piped section in fluid connection with a port in said spool, said feed lines dispensing said residual byproduct into said spool in a tangential manner to provide even thermal distribution throughout said spool during a manufacturing process wherein said feed lines are spaced an equidistance from one another around said delivery main;
• and
• a hydro blasting system operable with said tangential dispenser, said hydro blasting system providing access to said delivery main by a cleaning device to purge said tangential dispenser of residual byproduct upon completion of a manufacturing cycle.

A delayed coking system comprising:

• a feed source capable of delivering a petroleum byproduct to said delayed coking system;
• a reservoir vessel;
• a de-header valve;
• a tangential injection system in operation with said reservoir vessel, said tangential injection system comprising:
• a spool fittable in an intermediate position between said reservoir vessel and said de-header valve;
• a tangential dispenser coupled to said spool, said tangential dispenser comprising:
• a delivery main in fluid connection with a reservoir vessel, wherein said delivery main comprises an inlet capable of receiving said byproduct from said feed source and a curved pipe segment extending from said inlet to further receive and deliver said byproduct;
• a plurality of feed lines in fluid connection with said delivery main and said reservoir vessel, said feed lines oriented substantially tangential with said reservoir vessel and comprising a piped section in fluid connection with a port in said reservoir vessel, said feed lines dispensing said residual byproduct into said reservoir vessel in a tangential manner to provide even thermal distribution throughout said reservoir vessel during a manufacturing process wherein said feed lines are offset from one another and spaced at varying intervals around said delivery main;
• and
• a hydro blasting system operable with said tangential dispenser, said hydro blasting system providing access to said delivery main by a cleaning device to purge said tangential dispenser of residual byproduct upon completion of a manufacturing cycle.
