Abstract
This guide looks specifically at the use of coke in iron foundry cupolas in the United Kingdom. All other forms of energy associated with the cupola have been ignored. However, a major problem with looking at coke use in cupolas is that some is used for metallurgical composition adjustment. Further complications arise from the variable calorific value of different cokes and different operating practices in different foundries. This makes comparisons between foundries difficult. Nevertheless, it has proved possible to identify factors which explain, in general terms, the basic differences between different cupola installations and hence allow comparisons to be made on a rational basis. The guide draws on two main sources of data. The first is the Energy Consumption Guide questionnaire survey conducted in December 89/January 90. Secondly, information has been provided from surveys undertaken in 1979. These two sets of data allow comparisons to be drawn between the current state of the industry and the situation 10 years ago. It is estimated that between 8 and 12% of the energy consumed could be saved, and pollution reduced, through steps taken as a result of better awareness of what is achievable. This guide attempts to highlight, by comparisons between foundries,
