The companies said each CDQ will be able to process 130 metric tons of coke hourly for the new stamp charge coke over batteries no. 13 and 14. The scope includes design, engineering, supply, installation, commissioning, electrics and automation, digitalization and related services to be delivered on a discrete turnkey basis. SMS will supply all major technological components while MCK Kutty Engineers will support on-site execution. 

“We are honored that SMS group, together with MCK Kutty, has been selected to deliver these advanced CDQ units to IISCO Burnpur. Our Paul Wurth technologies will support improved coke quality, higher energy recovery, and reliable, stable operation. As Sail’s partners, we are proud to support its expansion and sustainability goals,” said Bernhard Steenken, chief strategy officer of APAC and MEA for SMS group. 

SAIL said the machines will be the largest single-chamber CDQs in any of its integrated steel plants and use Paul Wurth cokemaking technologies. They have environmental benefits including efficient heat recovery and lower emissions compared to conventional wet quenching. 

This project is the latest collaboration between SMS group and SAIL, also having an ongoing project for a 6.25-m-tall Paul Wurth Stamp charge coke oven battery and machinery.
