Issues with the gas supply for the permanent flame in coke oven gas torches
Thread Content
A gas sampler is used to draw a portion of the fuel gas from the main pipeline of the flare gas (coking oven gas) for use as gas in the flare’s permanent light and as ignition fuel. After some time, it was found that the amount of gas supplied to the permanent light was insufficient; could it be that the condensates or caking in the coking oven gas have blocked the valves, flame arresters, and pipelines? Everyone, does anyone have any good ways to avoid such problems?
Yes, the coke oven gas used for eternal lamps must be purified coke oven gas; you surely know that coke oven gas is very dirty.
Yes, purification is needed. Is it necessary to add a buffer tank to hold back the dirty liquid? Does anyone have any other good ideas?
I simply don’t dare to use this gas; my permanent light doesn’t stay lit. For lighting purposes, liquefied gas is needed, and for applications that require a constant light source, coke oven gas isn’t suitable either – vent gas is what should be used instead
