Purpose: This research aims to optimise natural gas consumption in heat recovery coke production by systematically investigating operational parameters and process modifications. The objectives are quantifying and reducing specific gas consumption while maintaining product quality standards and developing optimal operating parameters for manual charging operations.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The experimental design for optimising natural gas consumption in coke production focuses on systematically evaluating and improving energy efficiency while maintaining product quality. The experimental runs are randomised to minimise systematic bias, with each condition replicated three times to ensure statistical validity. Statistical analysis employs Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to determine significant factors.
Findings: Reducing heating gas leakage significantly improved temperature regulation within the Coke plant. Rectification measures enhance temperature distribution and optimise fuel consumption in the heating process. Saving coke oven gas energy as heating gas energy is also helpful for reducing the specific heat consumption value of coke-making plants in an integrated type of steel industry.
Research Limitation: This research is focused on recovery type coke making plants in integrated type steel industries
Practical Implication: These findings demonstrate that optimising coke oven gas consumption improves the efficiency of coke-making operations and generates substantial benefits across the entire integrated steel manufacturing process.
Social Implication: The social implications demonstrate that energy optimisation in coke-making plants contributes significantly to sustainable community development and social progress.
Originality/Value: Saving coke oven gas energy as heating gas is also helpful for reducing the specific heat consumption value of coke making plants in an integrated type steel industry.
