Optimizing the Chamber Temperature in Coke Batteries by Modeling

Abstract

One- and two-dimensional models are employed to determine how the heating wall temperature of a furnace chamber within a coke battery affects the coke quality. The half-width b of the chamber is considered as a secondary factor. One- and two-dimensional thermal models of coking permit the prediction of coke quality. The results are verified by means of production data for Moscow Coke and Gas Plant (Moskoks). The optimal coking temperatures are determined on the basis of the one- and two-dimensional models of the coke oven.
