High-quality coke                                                      and environmentally friendly energy

The heat-recovery technology offers an up-to-date alternative if coke oven gas and by-products from the coke production are not required.

The incineration of the gases within the coke battery produces a substantial amount of heat, which is used to generate steam or electricity – about 8 MW electrical energy per 100,000 tons coke. A procedure that saves resources, emissions and costs.

Compacted charged coke from heat-recovery plants is of high quality. Furthermore, a higher oven throughput is achieved, which increases the economy of the heat-recovery-procedure even more: The same amount of coke can be manufactured with 80% of ovens – a saving of facilities and operating costs by 20%.

Due to the special design of oven operating machines and an optimized layout, there is only an insignificant difference in the space requirements between heat-recovery-plants and by-product-coking plants.
