Steam Production from Waste Stack Gases in a Carbon Black Plant
Abstract
Waste stack gases from carbon black plant bag filters are used as fuel to produce superheated steam - G25 PSIG and 7500F. This steam is out into a steam header that serves Conoco plants in the Lake Charles, Louisiana area. Combustion of the waste gases to produce steam has two very important rewards - energy conservation and pollution abatement. Energy conservation is achieved by using waste gases in place of fuel oil to produce the steam required by the various plants. Pollution abatement is due to the combustion of the waste gases which destroys most of the pollutants.
This steam project has provided substantial energy conservation for the carbon black plant because the energy can be subtracted from the total energy used by the plant in determining the energy to produce carbon black.
Description of the equipment used and problems encountered in operating the steam plant will be discussed.
