Coke making had been one of the major pursuits of CFRI since
inception. Fundamental research on coal science and the
carbonisation process found its applications in the development and
transfer of various technologies on HTC coke, formed coke, briquettes,
soft coke at different point of time. Keeping in view the gradual
depletion of indigenous good quality coking coal resources , R&D
initiatives at CFRI provided the scientific basis and scope of utilising
different type inferior grade coals as blend components for
metallurgical coke making. Extensive R&D on carbon product from
coal tar & pitch has also been done. Application of the
knowledgebase backed by validation tests in pilot plants has helped in
optimising the blend components for various steel plants utilising both
indigenous and imported coals.
Compelling factors like severe environmental regulations on coke
making technologies, market competitiveness and demand activated
the development of environment friendly improved design for coke
making which have already entered the market. CFRI with its built in
expertise in the area of carbonisation is in a ready state of
preparedness to provide not only specialised services but would
remain a key player as a technology provider to the growing coke
making industries.
