An automatic dehydration, extraction and transportation apparatus for petroleum coke, includes a bottom cover device, crusher, coke chute and extracting device. The bottom cover device is at the bottom of a coke tower and connected to a coke storage pool via the chute. A grid net for filtering petroleum coke is horizontally provided in the lower part of the pool. A partition door is on an end, away from the chute, of a side pool wall of the pool. The extracting device enters and exits the coke storage pool through the partition door. A partition wall is between the partition door and the chute. The surface of the partition wall is opposite the chute, such that a corridor is formed between the other pool wall opposite the chute and the partition wall. One end of the partition wall is connected to the pool wall provided with the partition door.

An arrangement of a coke drum unit and of a coke crushing unit for use in a closed, gastight system for gaining sellable petroleum coke pieces out of solidified petroleum coke in a coke drum unit. It comprises a coke drum unit containing solidified petroleum coke; a coke crushing unit for crushing the petroleum coke into sellable petroleum coke pieces arranged below the coke drum unit; a lower funnel connected to the coke crushing unit and having an upper end portion; an upper funnel connected to the lower end of the coke drum unit and having a lower end portion with a smaller diameter than the upper end portion of the lower funnel; the lower end portion of the upper funnel extending into the upper end portion of the lower funnel; and at least one circumferential sealing element providing a gastight sealing between the upper funnel and the lower funnel and allowing for an axial and radial movement of the upper funnel with respect to the lower funnel.

The invention relates to shipbuilding and can be used in reconditioning in order to economize fuel and to increase speed. The technical problem is solved by the shipboard installation of air compressors, air receiver tanks, pass valves, air conduits, air separating conduits, air intakes and air injectors, which are interconnected by air ducts. An air separating conduit is mechanically secured in the bow of the ship and has air injectors secured along the centre thereof up to the stern. The injectors direct a jet of air backwards so that the jet of air thrusts the ship forwards, then the air rises along the sides of the ship, maintaining a layer of air between the ship and the water, thus reducing water resistance. The injectors in the bow direct a jet of air such that the ship is constantly sailing into an air space.

A device for increasing the interior surface of a compact coke charge in a receiving trough, which device increases the interior surface of a coke cake or coke leaving the coking chamber by mechanically breaking apart or roughening it, resulting in a break-up of the coke structure and the formation of crevice-type cavities in the compacted coke charge so that an increased amount of water can flow into the interior of the coke charge during the subsequent quenching step through these crevices, resulting in a high profitability of the method due to reduced quenching times and lower water consumption. A method for increasing the interior surface of a compact coke charge in a receiving trough, which serves to break up a fresh coke cake or to roughen the coke in order to reduce water consumption during quenching is disclosed.
