Standardization in coke and chemical production
Since 1970, UKhIN has revised and updated the coking industry's normative documents covering the entire production chain from charge and coke to finished pure products. On average, the Institute revises 11 standards and 16 TU specifications every year, while new normative documents are also under development. For instance, after reviewing the coke specifications in force in various other countries, carrying out laboratory and plant investigations and blast-furance trials and analyzing the requirements specified by metallurgists, it has been decided to base the quality requirements for blast-furnace coke for the next few years on the listed set of indices. Since introducing the standard on blast-furnace coke quality, the national economy has benefited by an estimated 7 milion rubles/year. The new standard covering coke-oven gas for synthesis took account of the current operating conditions in coking and nitrogenous fertilizer plants and laid down the optimum economic conditions for the production, purification, and transmission of coke-oven gas to the nitrogenous fertilizer plants. It led to a saving of about 600,000 rubles/year. The latest GOST standard on electrode pitch is based on the results of UKhIN research, consumer requirements and foreign standards, but takes into account the capabilities of the coking plants. The similarity between our standard and the quality requirements of foreign electrode pitch producers demonstrates that out product corresponds to the highest world standards. Major UKhIN efforts relate to international standardization. Starting in 1972, UKhIN undertook important work in another direction, dealing with the most complicated stage of quality control, viz., the attestation of coking-plant products.
