Coke quenching water
Coke quenching water
(OP)
During the production process red hot coke is instantaneously cooled by quenching with water (200 tons in 10 minutes) The water recirculates - - - it achieves a steady 70 degree cent and is held in an unlined steel tank which has lost 8 mm thickness in 8 years. Please has anyone any expeience of whats happening here - - will the water be acidic or what, and will the reduction in tank wall thickness be due to corrosion or to erosion by the coke dust which recirculates in the water? ( I am told the water has pH of 8.0 ) Any comments much appreciated.
