Petcoke is a bye product / undesirable product of oil
refining cracking process. Petcoke is often used because of its high-calorific
value as well as lower handling cost per unit of Heat Content.
In comparison to coal, petcoke is categorized as a material
with low volatile, lower ash content,
high fixed carbon content and high sulphur content. It is also used as a
complementary fuel in cement industries.
Challenges in Petcoke Storage:-
· During
Petcoke storage, temperature of the exhaust gas increases if petcoke is introduced with raw material resulting into
increased gas volume and increased specific heat consumption. In that
situation, the benefits should be worked out considering reduction in Kiln
production and increased fuel consumption.
· Petcoke
has some toxic contents like vanadium, nickel etc, which go along with dust.
Hence, plants which dispose the return dust have to ensure that the
concentration of these compounds do not exceed the limits defined by the
environmental laws.
· Due
to the establishment of large outdoor petcoke storage, many concerns about
possible public health consequences by petcoke emission have been raised.
Moreover during its bulk storage, many problems like spontaneous combustion,
fugitive emission etc can occur at any stage of transportation, storage and
handling.
These are some major challenges which are faced during the
storage of petcoke. Petcoke storage sheds are the ultimate solution of these
problems. These sheds are designed in such a way that these problems of
spontaneous combustion, fugitive emission can be controlled without any loss to
the stockpiles quality.
