In connection with the further development of licensed trade, a characteristic feature of the activity of the Giprokoks Institute is thorough expansion of scientific and technical relations with various countries of the world. Giprokoks actively cooperates with coking plants and institutes of the countries of the socialist community and with the leading firms and institutes of the capitalist countries. The Institute developed and assisted the Soviet coking industry in adopting a number of significant patentable innovations in the area of design of coke ovens and their equipment, coke quenching, recovery and refining of the chemical products of coking and the automation and mechanization of technological processes in the coke industry. This technology is being adopted in many countries on licenses from Giprokoks. The first licensing agreement was concluded through Tyazhprom-export in 1970 with Metarom of Romania for construction of coke dry quenching units at the coking plant in Galati. In subsequent years licenses for coke dry quenching units of Giprokoks design were issued to Japanese firms. These units are now operating successfully at practically all of the coking plants of the Soviet Union and, by license, in many foreign countries. These units, in addition to solving the important problem of air and water pollution at coking plants, permit a decrease in the consumption of coke per t of cast iron in the blast-furnace process and a sharp reduction of maintenance costs due to a decrease in the corrosion of equipment and metal structures of the entire coke plant.
