Patent fuel and similar solid fuels manufactured from hard coal
CPC v2.1 Code: 1102
About patent fuel and similar solid fuels manufactured from hard coal
cpc code 1102 covers the production of patent fuel and similar solid fuels manufactured from hard coal. This industry plays a crucial role in the energy sector, providing a reliable and efficient source of fuel for various applications. As a key component of the broader coal processing industry, the 1102 code contributes significantly to the overall energy supply and supports the functioning of numerous other industries that rely on solid fuels for their operations.
Production process
The production of patent fuel and similar solid fuels from hard coal typically involves a series of processing steps. The raw coal is first crushed and pulverized to a fine powder. This powder is then mixed with a binder, such as tar or pitch, and subjected to high pressure and heat to form briquettes or other solid fuel shapes. The final products are then dried, cooled, and prepared for distribution and use.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of patent fuel and similar solid fuels under cpc code 1102 include hard coal as the primary raw material, as well as various binders and additives. Specialized machinery, such as crushers, mixers, and briquetting presses, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are needed to power the production equipment and facilitate the necessary heating and drying steps.
Production outputs
The primary output of the industry covered by cpc code 1102 is patent fuel and similar solid fuels manufactured from hard coal. These products are primarily consumed by 1201 Manufacture of coke oven products, 2011 Manufacture of industrial gases, and 2420 Manufacture of basic precious and other non-ferrous metals industries, which rely on solid fuels for their energy-intensive processes. The solid fuels produced under this code can also be used for residential and commercial heating purposes, as well as in certain industrial applications.
