Abstract

In the last few years, CPM developed a first generation of charging model for coke ovens to improve the uniformity of oven filling and to reduce charging emissions. A new charging model has been recently built to simulate all kinds of charging process with 3, 4 or 5 charging holes and to obtain a more reliable representation of the levelling operation. More particularly, coal accumulation in each compartment of the leveller bar is represented, in order to have a better idea of the gas free space during the levelling operation. By using this model, it is now possible to suppress or reduce coal accumulation in the oven free space during the levelling operation and to obtain a constant and uniform coal profile at the end of charging, without gas emissions.
