SMCC, CSIR-NIScPR

In the early stages, the CSIR-Central Institute of Mining and Fuel Research (CSIR-CIMFR), Dhanbad, focused on inferior-grade coking coal for coke production, as most of the coke-making technologies were imported and based on by-product recovery processes. To address this, CSIR-CIMFR developed solely heated bee hive ovens, initially with multi-chimney designs and later with single chimneys. As part of efforts to enhance energy efficiency, advanced heating and insulation systems were incorporated into non-recovery coke ovens. In response to growing demands for higher productivity, improved coke quality, and the use of lower-grade coals, CSIR-CIMFR introduced the stamp charging system with a coke quenching process…read more on NOPR
