Pet Coke Calciner
Tenova’s rotary hearth petroleum coke calciners can process both anode grades and needle cokes. The rotary hearth calciner uses the volatiles from the coke to combust and produce heat for the processing of the coke. In many cases, not external heat or fuel is required during operation. Also, due to the gentle rabbling action of the unit, there is a high fixed carbon recovery, unlike rotary kiln calciners.
Overview
The rotary hearth calciner uses either a flat or slightly sloped hearth.
A series of rabbles located near the feed point, gently plow the coke from furrow to furrow inwardly, making a spiral pattern on the hearth until it reaches the central soaking pit.
In the soaking pit the hot coke equalizes in temperature before being discharge from the bottom by a rotating discharge table with a plow.
