Cokeplant Renovations
Large scale renovations of coke batteries are a costly and time consuming activity. Capital expenditure will increase considerably if stringent environmental control requirements are being set.
The typical technical lifetime of a modern, well operated coke battery, is estimated at 30 to 40 years. However, more and more, the life expectancy of an existing coke battery is no longer determined by its technical life or its economical life (20 to 30 years), but by its environmental life, which for many plants is only 10 to 20 years.
Coke battery life extension can be best achieved by combining operational practice with optimum battery redesign and construction in determining a renovation strategy. The application of computer models, both in process control and in design, is essential in this philosophy.
Danieli Corus offers consultancy with respect to coke plant life extension. Once an optimum renovation strategy has been formulated, engineering services can be supplied.
