The volume of coke production rose by 2.4% over 1976. The new batteries have dry coke-quenching units, coal preparation shops and shops for recovery and processing of coke chemical products. In the past year a great deal of new equipment was installed at coke plants. For example, a large number of standpipes were obtained with mechanized control of all their service operations. There was widespread adoption of varous systems for automatic control of coke loading into the charging car. The Moscow Coke Gas Works is successfully using a system for automatic remote control of the electric drives from a single control panel. Rather good resuls were obtained with automatically remote-controlled coal-charging cars at the Yasinovka Coke Works and with the large-capacity batteries of the Cherepovets I and SW. Operations were developed for charging the hoppers with the coal charge, including selection of the row of coal tower bins, stopping of the car, loading of the charge into the ovens (including selection of the oven to be charged) and servicing the standpipes of the ovens to be pushed. Emission-free charging became a necessary element of coking technology. In the current year the coking industry should develop still more rapidly. Measures must be taken to provide construction workers with refractory materials, equipment and the necessary technical documentaton, and progress in construction should be constantly monitored. All the new coke batteries are high-capacity batteries, with productivity of 1.0 million ton/y each. These batteries will become standard, marking the beginning of a qualitatively new stage in the development of coke ovens, servicing of equipment, mechanization of laborious operations, and automation of production processes.
