"Trust Koksokhimmontazh" has started pre-heating installation of equipment

  Trust Koksokhimmontazh has started pre-heating installation of the equipment of the first block as part of the construction of coke battery No. 11 with preliminary ramming of coal charge at the Cherepovets Metallurgical Combine.

 According to the schedule, before heating up the coke battery, Coke chemical installation specialists will have to mount the anchorage of coke ovens, temporary gas pipelines, gas-air valves, finish the construction of the chimney and the central hog. A total of 2,924 tons of equipment will be installed at this stage.
 "Due to the fact that there are no such batteries in the Russian Federation and the anchoring of a coke oven battery using Paulwurth technology is more complex and responsible than the traditional one on Hyprocox batteries, more serious and in-depth training of personnel, equipment and tooling is required. In the next few months, we will have to perform one of the most difficult and responsible types of work - pre-kindling installation of equipment, prepare the first unit for drying and heating and transfer it to PaulWurth specialists for this operation," said Alexey Bachurin, head of the KHM-Cherepovets directorate.
