Project Background
Roberts & Schaefer Company was awarded a contract from Motiva Enterprises, LLC for engineering and procurement of the pet coke handling system at Motiva Enterprises LLC’s Motiva Plant in Port Arthur, Texas. The system will be completed in 2009.
The pet coke handling system is designed to receive coke from two 750 TPH pet coke crushers at discharge hoppers #1 and 2 with belt feeders at the transfer towers. The pet coke is conveyed from the transfer towers to the train loadout area at 1,500 TPH. The pet coke is transferred to the two train loadout silos by two silo feed conveyors. The 1,600-ton capacity silos discharge to the railcars through diamond back hoppers with isolating chutes and rolling blade control gates. All areas of the pet coke handling system are provided with wet dust suppression. Ancillary systems at the train loadout area include washdown and service air.
