Gas emission. Coke oven interior: detail (1942, USA). The coke oven is the central element of a coking plant. Horizontal ovens, which are the most commonly used (they are suitable for monitoring the various extraction stages), take the form of narrow compartments (approx. 50 cm wide), but several meters high and several meters deep.
A coke oven at a smokeless fuel plant, Abercwmboi, South Wales, 1976. The industrial production of coke from coal is called coking. The coal is baked in an airless kiln, a "coke furnace" or "coking oven", at temperatures as high as 2,000 °C (3,600 °F) but usually around 1,000–1,100 °C (1,800–2,000 °F). [2]
The CAG Report (2018) also cited this plant for higher than average CO 2 emission, and reduced energy efficiency. Per the sustainability report published by SAIL, these are some initiatives being driven at BSP, to modernize in an energy efficient way, the aging plant technology - Waste heat recovery from Coke Ovens
In 1853 a shaft was sunk for the Blaydon Main coal seam at Blaydon Burn, and in 1902 a coke works was set up on the site of the nearby Dockendale Hall. This was operated by the Priestman Power Company, producing coke using 80 coke ovens, made by the Otto-Hilgenstock company of Germany. [1] By the 1950s, 90 ovens were operating at the plant.
After meeting with US Steel in 1907, Koppers agreed to build a coke plant in the United States and formed the H. Koppers Company. [2] In 1912, the H. Koppers Company was incorporated to be Koppers Inc. in Chicago, Illinois , an industrial organization which moved to Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , United States in 1914.

In 1916, U.S. Steel opened its Clairton Coke Works, a $18,000,000 by-product plant. [7] It was the first full by-product plant in the region and easily the largest in the United States with 1,500 ovens. [8] [9] The plant grew rapidly, adding hundreds more coke ovens built by Koppers.
The Steubenville East Works in Follansbee, West Virginia, was connected to the North Works by a railway bridge and produced coke and coke oven gas required for the manufacturing operations. It consisted of 314 coke ovens and those facilities also include a modern plant for the recovery of by-products from coke oven gas.
