<p>A method and apparatus for quenching the coke drum vapour line from a coke drum to the main fractionator in a coker unit whereby the volume of quench liquid prevents the drum vapour line from plugging with carbon-based deposits. A differential pressure control technique is utilized to quench the drum vapours being delivered to the fractionator. Vapour line quench control by differential pressure prevents over-quenching of the vapour line during a coke drum switch, unit start-up, or slowdown as well as under-quenching during drum warm-ups.</p> |
