Swelling - Coking Pressure
Output of volatile material from coal and coke that is forming.
Rise of pressure inside the plastic layers, which pushes the coke against the wall and compresses the coal between them and the coke does not let the gas get out completely.

Coal Bunker
02 silos with capacity of 1500 t.
Feed system that distributes coal by rotating chute in two silos.
Level is controlled by the operator's control room.
Charging Car
The function of the charging car is put into the furnace the mixture of coal and control the furnace charge.
The load of coal is weighed and then the car turns to an empty oven. Under the command of the operator, the car sits on the oven you want, and after the transfer of its load, returns to the Coal Bunker where is made a new weighing.

What is the Driven Force of the Coking Process:What is the Driven Force of the Coking Process:
The driven force is temperature.
Combustion is an oxidation reaction, whose processing agent is oxygen free
or combined, and has products such as CO2, H2O and heat.
The heating system can be divided in two units: the combustion chambers and regenerators (located underneath the ovens and walls of heating, recovering the sensible heat of the fumes).
The combustion gas is admitted at half of these chambers and the combustion is ensured by the introduction of preheated air. An upward combustion happens in these chambers. The other half of the chamber ensures the evacuation of descended smoke.

The rich gas (COG) or the mixed gas (COG + BFG) are taken from the by-product of the plant and / or gasometer.
The pipeline are designed to carry the appropriate volume of gas with supply pressure also suitable.

Objectives: coke production with consistent high quality, appropriate thermal efficiency and low emission of contaminants in withdrawing.
Appropriate conditions for achieving the goals:
Homogeneous charge in terms of moisture, particle size and charge density
(which highlights the importance of coal preparation and charging techniques
of coal in coke oven).
At the end of the coking cycle, just before withdrawing, the temperature of coke
in the charge center (equidistant from the walls of heating) should be the
same (around 1050 oC).
In order to obtain uniform conditions of temperature inside the charge is
necessary to adjust and control the vertical and horizontal temperature
profiles of each and heating wall along the entire length of the battery.

Stable production. Smallest possible change in production leads to an efficient operation. So it is better withdrawing stably and non-stop for shift changes, meal breaks etc..
Ovens properly completed. Leads to better production rates and lower energy consumption per tonne. It also reduces the space above the charge to the formation of naphthalene (good charging systems and adding oil helps to have well-filled ovens).
Maintenance and preservation.As in any plant a good maintenance / preservation (door frames and walls) is a indispensable prerequisite.
Consistency of the coal blend (formula, blending, particle size and moisture).Regulating the supply of gas so that combustion is complete and the amount of
excess air is equal to the practical minimum.
Correct adjust of heat to the whole heating wall in order to have uniform coking.
Optimum time of reversal. There is an optimum time in order to have the best efficiency. Each battery has its optimum time.

Heating control: Various methods are used to this control, with the common goal of stable operation (coking optimization and minimization of energy consumption).
Combustion control: it is essential that the products of combustion in the burnt gas be measured, especially CO and O2, if its value is known it assists in the proportion of the air/ gas for the burning and help to control the damper of the chimney. In order to achieve good control may be required individual adjustment of one or more ovens using portable analyzers.

Battery Average Temperature
The temperature measurement of the hundreds combustion chambers would be laborious and no practical. What do you do? Measure thetemperature of some selected chambers (central chambers or fifthchambers from the coke side and pusher side of all walls except the end walls of the battery.)
Optical and infrared pyrometers (focused on the bottom of the chambers in smoke, in the space between the holes of gas and air or at the base of gas burner coke oven)
Temperature Crosswall Distribution
Due the width increase of the PS to the CS oven, the temperature also increases gradually in this direction (the purpose is that coking times are similar along the entire length of the oven).
The average temperature of the wall is obtained by the arithmetic average of its chambers, eliminating the measures of the extreme chambers (two CS and two PS).
Taper (function of the furnace tapering) is the temperature difference between the third and antepenultimate chamber wall. The taper is achieved by regulation of sliding bricks located in inlet air and gas holes at the base of the chamber through the holes of inspection on top of the battery.

Temperature of Extreme Chambers
Individual control by regulating the flow of air and gas for those chambers (the end of each regenerator).
The temperature of those chambers is lower for protection of metallic structures nearby, preventing formation of carbon deposit on the refractory of the doors and reducing the heat loss.
Vertical Distribution of Temperature
The more uniform distribution of temperature more uniform quality of coke.When the combustion is in only one stage (base of the chamber), the adjustment
of the vertical distribution is done acting on the calorific value of gas and in the excess of air (factors that determine the height of flame).
Hot top favors the formation of graphite and arising problems(difficulty of withdrawing, hanging, leaking doors, etc).

For more uniform the heating of the coke oven walls be, there is always irregular distribution of temperature inside the charge due the non-uniformity of charge density and differences in geometry of the oven that range from pusher side to coke side .
Additional time (may be a few hours) to amortize the deficiencies in the distribution of temperature, for the charge has not temperatures significantly lower at the end of the coking cycle.

As consequence, the mass of coke may not show uniform contraction and industrial practice shows lateral retraction ranged from 1 to 12 mm. If the temperature differences are really significant, part of the charge may not detach from the walls and the charge can only be withdrawing with difficulties or even stay hanged.
