It is equipped with the world’s most powerful 2×260t/h dry quenching systems, as well as 2×25MW double-condensing steam turbine generators and a gas purification and recovery system, generating 447 million kWh of electricity per year. The products include metallurgical coke, coke oven gas, tar, ammonium sulfate, crude benzene, steam, etc. All chemical products are exported, all coke oven gas is fed into the energy system of Jingtang Company, and all coke is supplied for use in the 5500 cubic meter blast furnaces of Jingtang Company. 　　Blast furnaces A, B, C, and D in Phase 1 were put into operation on August 13, 2008, May 9, 2009, January 25, 2010, and April 6, 2010, respectively. The No. 1 and No. 2 coke dry quenching systems were brought online on May 19, 2009, and January 21, 2010, respectively.
