Methods for improving the efficiency of coking plants
Thread Content
In order to improve economic efficiency, while ensuring the quality of coke, is it more beneficial for coking plants to use more coal with high volatility in order to increase the production of chemical products, or is it more beneficial to increase the output of coke?
Is your factory in the metallurgy industry or a coking plant for city gas? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
It mainly depends on the region you are in; what’s important is the use of gas. Currently, in most factories, the added value associated with using gas is too low, or the gas is simply burned and released as waste
For domestic coking manufacturers, the design pattern of their entire systems is basically the same; in other words, all coking enterprises are essentially clones with identical technical starting points and foundations! Under such circumstances, competition among enterprises no longer depends on technology, but rather more on production management capabilities and resource advantages! This is the current situation of most enterprises in our country! Only by actively developing the use of new technologies can true differentiated design be achieved to maximize benefits! Additionally, companies can also take advantage of their own conditions to carry out minor technological innovations in areas such as energy conservation and emission reduction, based on their existing production facilities; this can likewise improve economic efficiency!
If your facility makes full use of gas and the price is reasonable, it is highly beneficial to use more coal with high volatility in order to increase the production of chemical products.
It is much better to increase production by raising the volatile matter content, as long as the quality of coke is maintained. In the current domestic market, producing pure coke results in losses; the higher the volatile matter content, the greater the amount of by-products produced and the higher the profits. The proper operation, maintenance, and use of processing equipment have a significant impact on profitability
The key lies in the product utilization structure of the region; if chemical products such as gas, tar, and crude benzene have stable customers and markets, their volatility should be increased appropriately. In addition, factors such as the transportation of raw coal should also be considered.
First, it is necessary to consider the company’s use of gas; if the external supply price exceeds 0.6 yuan per cubic meter, coal with a high volatile content should be used in larger quantities to increase gas production.
What was said on the 4th floor is absolutely correct: under identical conditions regarding technology and equipment, it comes down to how well a company manages its staff, oversees operations on site, handles equipment maintenance, controls costs, and fosters the professional competence of its employees. Energy conservation and emission reduction, as well as efforts to enhance efficiency by tapping into potential, must be carried out continuously in order to create benefits for the enterprise; the most important areas for this are the procurement and sales processes.
What was said upstairs covers everything very well. For your reference, here are the two technologies that I’m particularly interested in: 1. The CMC technology – calls for its adoption have been made at present, but progress is slow due to economic conditions and dust issues (without being affected by MaSteel). However, this technology offers significant benefits, and it seems that solutions exist; still, factors such as the type of coke oven and moisture levels need to be taken into consideration； 2. Coke ovens are heated not with coke oven gas, but with medium-pressure coal gas, which is cheaper; this allows the more valuable alternative product derived from coke oven gas – such as methanol – to be utilized, resulting in significant benefits
If economic efficiency is considered from the perspective of coal blending, it is not the case that higher or lower volatility yields better efficiency. It is necessary to take into account the prices of chemical products, coke, and raw coal, such as benzene, tar, gas, metallurgical coke, coke fumes, and coke pellets. They have calculated the profit generated by this coal blending plan. There is a maximum value! Of course, the formula must first ensure that the quality of the coke is satisfactory, so as to avoid difficulties in pushing the coke!
