As domestic coke requirement diminished in the 1980`s, Clairton reduced the number of operating batteries to 12 with an effective annual capacity of 4.6 million tons. Replacement of 35 existing shell and tube-type gas coolers with six new direct spray-type coolers is demonstrating that lower outlet temperatures are obtained on a consistent basis, provide preheated feed stream to boilers, as well as being simpler to operate and maintain.
