Coke production


In modern design of coke oven batteries GIPROKOKS adopted heating system PVR (twin vertical flues with recirculation of waste gases)

Despite development of new technologies of direct reduction of iron, coke oven and blast furnace process remains the supreme technology in industrial production of ferrous metals.

Coke production

GIPROKOKS executes complex designing of coke oven plant facilities:
  • Coke oven batteries for production of blast furnace and foundry coke.
  • Ovens for production of special kinds of coke:
  • Pushing emission control systems.
  • Coke dry cooling plants.
  • Coke wet quenching complexes.
  • Coke transportation, handling, screening, uploading and storage facilities.
  • Coal towers.
  • Garages for repair of coke oven machines.
  • Hangars for erection of coke oven batteries brickwork.
  • Refractories, materials and equipment storage.
Design of ovens and units for production of special kinds of coke:
  • Continuous operation vertical type coke ovens for production of blast furnace and foundry coke,
    carbon reducing agents.
  • Circular coke ovens for production of blast furnace and foundry coke, carbon reducing agents,
    carburizing compounds.
  • Non-recovery coke ovens, horizontal or vertical ones, with production of coke, heat and/or
    electrical power.
Options of coke oven batteries design:
  • Capacity: from 200 thousand tones up to 1500 thousand tones of coke with 6% moisture per year.
  • Volume of carbonization chambers: from 20 up to 70.5 m.
  • Geometrical dimensions of carbonization chambers: height up to 7.4 m, width from 0.41 up to 0.56 m, length up to 20 m.
  • Heating gas supply: gun-flue, under-jet.
  • Type of heating: compound, mixed, coke oven gas.
  • Withdrawal of foul coke oven gas: by single, two gas collecting mains.
  • Method of charging: by gravity (coal charging car), stamped (using stamping) coal cake.
  • Air supply: single-stage conventional, multi-stage.

Coke ovens of GIPROKOKS design ensure:
  • Production of coke of specified quality, uniform in degree of readiness and grain size.
  • Low heat consumption for heating of ovens and, accordingly, high thermal efficiency.
  • Low resistance of heating system.
  • Uniformity of heating lengthwise and heightwise the coking chamber.
  • Tightness and improved strength of brickwork and long service life of ovens (not less than 25-30 years).
  • Easy and optimal adjustment of ovens heating.
  • Comprehensive control of the technological process.
  • Favorable working conditions of the service personnel.
  • Emission standards.
Associated facilities of coke oven block:
  • In order to eliminate emissions of solid particles into atmosphere the coke oven batteries are
    equipped with pushing emission control (PEC) systems along with dry cleaning of dust –laden air.
  • Coke quenching may be carried out both in coke dry quenching plant and by coke wet quenching
    method.
Giprokoks has developed and is applying new coke handling process concepts:
  • Single-stage screening pattern with the use of new high performance vibrating screens.
  • Crushing of coke (before its screening) with the use of a roller-toothed crusher (both for the
    entire coke stream and with the separation and subsequent crushing only of coarse coke +80
    mm).
  • Separation of coke grade +80 mm at high-performance vibrating screens.
  • For maintenance of coke oven equipment and coke oven machines at coke oven batteries the provision is made for garages with a set of devices and a repair station.
