Product catalog summary
Overview of Coke Calcining Systems
Metso provides advanced systems and equipment for the thermal processing of solid materials, including coke calcining. With over 80 years of experience, Metso is a leading supplier, having delivered 50 plants that account for 70% of the world's coke calcining capacity. These systems are designed to meet specific customer requirements, ensuring energy efficiency and operational flexibility.

Key Features and Benefits
  • Energy Efficiency: The rotary kiln's rotating action ensures constant motion of the coke bed, optimizing exposure to process heat and converting volatile matter into energy for power generation.
  • Operational Flexibility: KVS rotary kilns can process various types of green coke, optimizing parameters like residence time and temperature gradient to enhance product quality.
  • Product Quality: The systems produce high-quality coke with optimized bulk densities and reduced fines, improving critical product elements.

Technical Components
  • Rotary Kiln: A robust and proven technology used globally, featuring components like shell, tires, and a drive train for efficient operation.
  • Burner Systems: Provide process heat through kiln burners and combustion of volatile matter, with secondary and tertiary air enhancing combustion efficiency.
  • Afterburners: Designed for effective combustion of volatile matter, ensuring uninterrupted steam and power generation.
  • Coolers: Utilize direct water quench and ambient air for efficient coke cooling.
  • Air Seals: Reduce air infiltration, improving fuel efficiency and reducing power consumption.

Control Systems
  • Programmable Logic Controller (PLC): Monitors and controls the system, ensuring proper operating conditions.
  • Optimization Control System (OCS): Enhances product quality and system performance by determining set points and stabilizing operations.

A typical pulverized fuel/gas burner Metso’s rotary cooler design utilizes both a direct water quench of the hot coke at the cooler entrance and counterflow movement of ambient air to cool the coke. The direct quench type is the most widely used method of cooling in the coke calcining industry. Metso’s air seals (marketed as Goodeal and Superdeal seals) with their overlapping steel plates provide an air seal that significantly reduces ambient air infiltration into the rotary kiln. By limiting air infiltration, fuel efficiency is improved and power consumption is reduced. The seals’ simple, yet...

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Optimization Control System (OCS) A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) – the heart of the control system – provides monitoring and interlocking functions. The PLC constantly checks for any abnormal conditions. Based upon its intended sequence, the PLC will take appropriate corrective action to keep the process or sequence within proper operating conditions. Metso programs and pre-commissions the PLC at its facility or sequence within proper operating conditions. Metso programs and pre-commissions the PLC at its facility before shipping to the calcining plant....
