Coke

Bituminous coal is converted into 'metallurgical' coke and mainly used in the steel blast furnace operation to melt the iron ore and remove oxygen from the mix. The use of a high quality coke in a blast furnace will result in a lower coke rate, higher productivity and lower hot metal cost.

Based on the application, Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) Coke, in contrast with normal blast furnace coke and foundry coke, is unique, which requires lower CSR (Coke Strength after Reaction), higher CRI (Coke Reactivity Index) and proper Electric Resistivity as well.

Electric Furnace are applied in the Steel, Ferro Alloys, Graphites, Refractories and Fertiliser industries. Coke is also added to steel ladles to re-carburize the melt after discharge from the furnace.
