Altai-Koks begins testing new coal stamp charging facility

Altai-Koks, a leading Russian manufacturer of metallurgical coke and an NLMK Group company, has begun hot testing of a coal stamp charging unit at an operational coke battery. The introduction of stamp charging will boost coke quality, reduce the cost of its production, and improve the environmental footprint of operations.

Instead of using the top charging method, stamp charging involves feeding already compacted coal briquettes into the oven horizontally. The technology has been introduced at Coke Battery No. 5, the most advanced coke oven battery at Altai-Koks. It has a production capacity of 1.1 million tonnes of coke per year. The new unit is equipped with an advanced and efficient gas treatment system.

Investment in the project amounted to RUB 4.8 billion.

The testing phase will last until October.
