Cokemaking technology

Depending on the customer’s needs and requests, Paul Wurth provides the tailor-made design and state-of-the-art technologies for coke oven batteries of both the top charging and stamp charging type. In the field of top charging batteries, Paul Wurth favours the Jumbo oven battery concept with substantial ecological advantages and a long battery lifetime. Paul Wurth’s stamp charging coke oven batteries distinguish themselves by having a particularly strong battery structure, optimised combustion and specifically developed environmental features to meet the most stringent regulations for coke production.

Whatever charging technology is chosen, the batteries designed by Paul Wurth integrate the latest technological developments in order to assure long campaign life, high productivity and full compliance with the most advanced pollution control standards.

Paul Wurth offers the full range of coke oven machines for top charged and stamp charged batteries. These are based on proven and reliable Schalke and Koch technologies. Our comprehensive portfolio includes coal charging cars, pusher machines, stamping-charging-pushing machines, coke transfer cars, charging gas transfer cars, quenching cars, crane systems as well as maintenance and service cars.

Thanks to this proven technology featuring the latest state-of-the-art solutions, the most modern and largest coke oven batteries in the world can be equipped with man-less coke oven machines, which meet the highest standards in terms of availability, coke productivity, emission reduction, user friendliness and safety standards.

Related automation and control systems, complemented with CMXpert digital features, ensure the safe operation of the machine with all travelling steps being fully automated and accurately scheduled. All machines are equipped with highly efficient emissions control systems, so that the most stringent environmental regulations are met. Moreover, to improve cycle times, enhance plant liability and reduce manpower, the coke oven machines by Paul Wurth can be equipped with an intelligent automation system for total man-less operation.

Coke oven gas production and the related recovery of its by-products are of the utmost importance in the overall cokemaking and ironmaking process when it comes to providing an environmentally responsible global concept with limited investment cost.

More than 15 years ago, Paul Wurth set up a strategic cooperation with German company DMT GmbH & Co. KG. We are now able to offer the design and construction of complete coke oven gas (COG) treatment and by-product recovery plants.

In the field of coke quenching, the Paul Wurth Group offers both wet and dry coke quenching systems, with all associated equipment and technological features for the highest-level environmental compliance and energy recovery.

As coke plant operators have to comply with ever more challenging regulations in terms of emission control and environmental protection, Paul Wurth pursues a policy of continuous improvement and development of its technological tools and solutions, thus offering a series of innovative special design features.
