New coking plant technology developments around the world

For some time, there have been efforts to develop novel cokemaking methods that are more cost-effective, energy-efficient, and ecologically friendly, and that can employ a wide range of coal grades. The 'heat recovery oven' and 'formed coke-making' alternatives, on the other hand, appear to be reaching their technical limits.

The jumbo coking reactor is a revolutionary process that has been successfully tested for over a year and a half. It uses warmed coal, program-controlled heating, and integrated pollution control systems to produce high-quality coke from a variety of coal grades, as well as a favourable heat balance and low emissions.
