Coke Inventory is maintained by transferring Bed Coke from the Reactor to the Burner (3) via Coke Transfer Line.

Depending upon the Feed, 15% to 25% of the Coke is burned with Air to satisfy Process Heat requirements, eliminating the need for an external Fuel supply.

Hot Coke from the Burner is circulated back to the Reactor (though Coke Transfer Line) supplying the heat necessary to maintain Reactor temperature and to sustain the Thermal Reaction. The balance of the Coke is withdrawn and sold as a Product.   

The Burner also produces a low heating value Flue Gas that is usually sent to a CO Boiler for further Energy Recovery through Steam Production.
