NLMK Group, an international metallurgical company, has started the installation of the main process equipment for the implementation of the technology of coal compaction at the operating coke oven battery Altai-Koks, a leading Russian producer of metallurgical coke.
The compaction technology assumes that the coal charge is loaded into the coke oven not in bulk from above, but horizontally, in the form of a pre-compacted, rammed coal briquette. This technology is being implemented in the fifth, most modern coke oven battery of the enterprise, launched in 2006. Its production capacity is 1.1 million tons of coke per year.
The project with a total investment of 4.5 billion rubles will improve the quality of coke, reduce its cost and improve the environmental parameters of production.
The comprehensive supplier of compaction technology is HuDe (Germany), one of the world leaders in this field. Now at the ramming complex, the construction of the main reinforced concrete structures of the coal tower with ramming devices is being completed, the installation of charge conveyors and a machine for loading the charge into the furnace has begun. The upgraded battery will be equipped with new modern and efficient waste gas collection and treatment systems.
