Reduction of airborne particulate matter emissions associated with petroleum coke production

Abstract

This article presents the results of studies on production based on products of secondary oil refining processes of agents for dust suppression and reduction of losses from blowing out of wet bulk carbon-containing materials, in particular petroleum coke, as well as against freezing and adhesion during their transportation at low temperatures. The use of the developed dust suppression-antifreeze agent will reduce exposure to dust of the employees at the delayed coking unit in the course of petroleum coke production and improve its freeze resistance. It will have a positive impact on the solution of the problem of petroleum coke transportation at subzero temperatures, and will also allow expanding the range of marketable products, and increasing production efficiency.
