Liang Ma Communication Qiang Yang Yuan Huang Pilot Test on the Removal of Coke Powder Peng Qian Jian-Gang Wang from Quench Oil Using a Hydrocyclone East China University of According to the characteristics of quench oil and coke powder, an experimental Science and Technology, setup is designed with a hydrocyclone for a pilot test. The relationships between State Key Laboratory of structure size, flow rate, pressure drop, and separation efficiency are evaluated. Chemical Engineering, The separation is successful in stable, long-period operations without complica- Shanghai, China. tions. The stability of the separation significantly helps decrease covert damage to equipment such as fractionating towers, pumps, and heat-exchange facilities.
