Coke remains a vital product for the iron and steel making industry throughout the world. The primary methods for producing metallurgical coke continue to be from the destructive distillation of select coals at 900 to 1095°C~1. Regardless of the exact coking process that is used, the end product requires rapid cooling in order to prevent combustion when it is exposed to the atmosphere before being transferred to the iron making process. In addition to product loss that occurs with oxidalion, coke temperature must be controlled to prevent damage to the transfer equipment that is used, most notably, the com. eyor belts. The final quenched coke temperature can vary by site, but it is typically 200°C or less.
