Abstract

A quenching track extends alongside of and away from a coke oven battery, and coke receiving apparatus is movable on the track to a remote location at which supporting structure for the coke receiving apparatus is located. Associated with the supporting structure is conveyor means onto which incandescent coke is discharged from the coke receiving apparatus. Coke on the conveyor means is quenched, and vapors arising from the coke during quenching are conveyed to a stack and are discharged to the atmosphere. Fumes arising from the coke receiving means during discharging of the coke are withdrawn into a gas scrubber and cleaned therein. From the scrubber the cleaned fumes are discharged to the stack and to the atmosphere. Various types of coke receiving means are disclosed, and various types of supporting means and arrangements of conveyors at the remote location are also disclosed.
