Abstract
A novel high precision detection method for the determination of the distillation end point of the coking process (usually in the 950-1100°C range) has been developed. The system is based on the use of a metallic capsule that melts at a fixed temperature and releases a radioactive gas tracer (133Xe) in the stream of the distillation gas. A series of tests on a pilot oven confirmed the feasibility of the method on industrial scale. Application of the radioactive tracer method to the staging and monitoring in the coking process appears to be possible. © 1995 Akadémiai Kiadó.File in questo prodotto:
