Manufacture of coke oven products

NACE v2.0 Code: C19.1

About manufacture of coke oven products

NACE code 19.1 covers the manufacture of coke oven products, a critical industry that plays a vital role in the broader economy. Coke, a solid fuel derived from coal, is a key input for the production of iron and steel, as well as other metallurgical processes. The manufacture of coke oven products is an essential part of the energy and materials supply chain, supporting the growth and development of numerous other industries.

Production process

The production of coke oven products involves the heating of coal in the absence of air, a process known as carbonization or destructive distillation. Coal is loaded into coke ovens and heated to high temperatures, typically between 1,000 and 1,200 degrees Celsius. This process drives off the volatile components of the coal, leaving behind a solid, porous material known as coke. The coke is then quenched, graded, and prepared for use in various industrial applications.

Production inputs

The primary input for the manufacture of coke oven products is coal, specifically coking coal, which has a high carbon content and low impurities. Other inputs include the coke ovens themselves, which are specialized furnaces designed for the carbonization process, as well as various materials and equipment for handling, processing, and transporting the coke.

Production outputs

The primary output of the coke oven industry is coke, which is then used as a fuel and reducing agent in the production of 24.1 Manufacture of basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys, 24.2 Manufacture of tubes, pipes, hollow profiles and related fittings, of steel, and other metal products. Additionally, the process of coke production generates a range of by-products, such as coal tar, benzene, and other chemicals, which can be further processed and utilized in various industries.
