The system cleans the gas collected from the coke oven battery, making it ready for further use in steelworks and for under firing the battery.
In doing so, the plant produces high-quality, saleable by-products such as tar, ammonium sulphate and sulphur.
“Our plant is the first Claus Desulphurising System that has been put into operation at a coking plant in India", DMT project manager Bjorn Otten said.
"Up to 46,000 cubic metres of coke oven gas can be cleaned per hour in the plant.
“This means that at full load, the gas-cleaning process prevents the emission of approximately 7 tonnes of sulphur dioxide and 21Mt of nitrogen oxide per day into the air when the stripped coke oven gas is reused as fuel”, he said.
