Patent fuel and similar solid fuels manufactured from hard coal

cpc code 11020 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 industrial and residential applications. As a key component of the broader coal processing industry, the production of patent fuel contributes significantly to the overall energy supply and economic activity within the country.

The production of patent fuel and similar solid fuels from hard coal typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw hard coal is crushed and pulverized to a fine powder. This powder is then mixed with a binder, such as pitch or tar, 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 consumption.

The primary inputs for the production of patent fuel and similar solid fuels from hard coal include the raw hard coal itself, as well as various binders and additives. Specialized machinery, such as briquetting presses and drying equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a reliable supply of energy, such as electricity or natural gas, to power the production facilities.

The main output of this industry is the patent fuel and similar solid fuels manufactured from hard coal. These products are primarily consumed by 11010 Manufacture of coke oven products, 23100 Manufacture of glass and glass products, and 23200 Manufacture of refractory products industries, as well as for residential and commercial heating purposes.
