COKE
 COAL PREPARATION PLANT
 PURPOSE OF COAL PREPARATION PLANT:
• Coal in steel plant is imported from austrailia.
• The main purpose of this plant is to prepare the coal by removing the foreign
matter and bringing to the size suitable for carbonization or coking process. s pure
coal by screening.

 PROPERTIES:
• Volatile matter:
• Ash content
• Fixed carbon
• Crushing index
• Total moisture

 CONTENTS IN 1 TON OF COAL:

• Coke - 746 kgs
• Crude Tar - 32 kgs
• Crude Benzol - 6.9 kgs
• Ammonia - 4.1 kgs
• CO Gas - 150 kgs
• Losses - 61 kgs
 COKE OVEN BATTERIES
Coal is converted into coke by high temperature
carbonization in the ovens of the battery. There are 3
batteries working and the Battery – 4 is being
constructed for more production of hot metal.

Battery has 4 machines:

• Pusher car
• Charging car
• Door extractor car
• Loco car
 COKE DRY COOLING PLANT:
• After pushing the coke from the Battery with a
temperature of 1050°c, it is transferred into C.D.C.P
for cooling purpose. The C.D.C.P technology is
adopted only in VISAKHAPANAM STEEL PLANT only
because in wet cooling the strength of the coke is
reduced.

The advantages of DRY COOLING are:

• Waste heat recovery (by producing steam)
• Pollution control (done by closed circuit)
• Better Coke strength (there is no thermal shock as
in wet cooling)
 COKE SORTING PLANT
Coke from C.D.C.P enters the C.S.P section. Here coke is crushed, screened and later
conveyed to different consumers.
PROCESS:
In C.S.P dust will be removed from the coke with the help of dedusting fans. After that
coke is sent to crushing section to crush into 80mm size particles. There B.F coke (25-80mm)
is separated through 14- roll screen and sent to Blast Furnace. The remaining 0-25 mm
fractions will be sent to vibrating screen. Here 0-10 mm particles called BREEZE COKE is
conveyed to Sinter Plant and 10-25 mm called NUT COKE to Blast Furnace.

COAL CHEMICAL PLANT

Many by products are extracted from the coke oven gas at this department. It consists of the following
sections
Exhauster house.
• AMMONIM SULPHATE PLANT
• M.B.C plant.
• Tar distillation plant.
• P.C.L.A
• Naphthalene fraction crystallization.
• Benzol plant.
– Benzol distillation plant.
– Hydro refining.
– Extractive distillation.
 AMMONIUM SULPHATE PLANT

• Coke oven gas with a pressure of 2500mm WC from

exhauster is fed to the ASP. Ammonia present in the
CO gas is recovered in ASP as ammonium sulphate
fertilizer.
PROCESS:
The CO gas from the exhauster is fed to the pre-
heater to preheat the gas to 60-70°c. But according
to our atmospheric temperature, this temperature
is obtained after the exhauster. So the gas is directly
fed to the saturator.
 USES OF AMMONIUM SULPHATE:
• It is mainly used as an fertilizer.
• Presently also used as an bearing material in mixed
Fertilizer in fertilizer manufacturing plant.
