A pyrolysis reactor system includes a reactor and a contactor mounted above the reactor. The reactor has a shell, an inlet and an outlet. A central shaft runs along its axis and supports agitation blades in a counter-helical arrangement, and an auger. Rotation of the auger in one direction feeds feedstock into the vessel, and in the opposite direction removes char at the end of a batch. The contactor includes four elements with a frusto-conical part supported on vertical support arms, and being connected to a disc by legs. The contactor elements allow short chains to pass through apertures while long chains condense on their surfaces or on the vessel wall surface. There is dynamic tuning of carbon number of gases flowing downstream by active temperature and pressure control at the contactor.

Systems and methods for removing carbon from the pyrolysis reactor are disclosed herein. For example, a pyrolysis reactor according to the present technology can include a combustion component that is fluidly couplable to a combustion fuel supply, as well as a reaction chamber that is thermally coupled to an output of the combustion component. Further, the pyrolysis reactor can include a carbon removal component that is operably coupled to the reaction chamber. The carbon removal component can include an actuator, a rod coupled to the actuator, and a scraper head coupled to the rod and positioned within the reaction chamber. The actuator can drive movement of the rod within the reaction chamber, thereby driving movement of the scraper head. The scraper head can include a plurality of teeth that are positioned to scrape carbon deposits from an interior wall of the reaction chamber.

An integral system for automated and non-intrusive of cleaning and non-destructive inspection (ultrasonic volumetric testing and visual testing) to detect, characterize and monitor with precision the level of internal and external damage (Cracks, deformations, corrosion, erosion, etc.) that may be present in coke drums throughout their life cycle is disclosed. Embodiments are disclosed that enable a condition of a coke drum to be estimated in a reliable manner for their fitness for service from the results obtained from the automated inspection with the non-destructive methods of ultrasound, visual testing and/or liquid Penetrant Testing.
