Results for tag: "Coke Oven"

Coke ovens are specialized ovens used in the production of coke, a fuel derived from coal. The process of creating coke from coal involves heating the coal in the absence of oxygen, which removes volatile components and leaves a solid carbon residue. Coke ovens are used in the steel industry, as well as in the production of other industrial products such as graphite and silicon carbide. The coke oven market is closely linked to the coal industry, as coke is a by-product of coal. The demand for coke ovens is largely driven by the demand for steel, which in turn is driven by the construction and automotive industries. The availability of coal and the cost of production are also important factors in the coke oven market. Notable companies in the coke oven market include Siemens, ThyssenKrupp, and Babcock & Wilcox. Other companies involved in the production of coke ovens include Paul Wurth, Primetals Technologies, and Danieli. Show Less Read more
