8. Furnace charge for coke production
Preparation of coal charges for coking
The preparation of coal batches for coking is carried out in accordance with the Client’s requirements which are imposed on the quality of coke.
The development of warehouses of charges includes the recommended brand and component warehouses and check their laboratory coking. SE "UKHIN" develops batches and provides scientific support for coking to produce coke of different levels quality and type of consumption:
Furnace charge for coke production
Blast high quality
Blast average quality

9. Development of schemes for preparing coal for coking
Preparation of coal for coking is an important technological operation that affects the quality of coke and the energy costs of coal mines. SE "UKHIN" developed optimal charts for the preparation of coal, depending on their petrographic composition and technological properties. They are based on the principle "Do not split anything superfluous". This principle involves the removal of small classes (3-0 mm or 6-0 mm) before crushing and their additive to the crushed part of the charge. This allows you to save from 10 to 25% of electricity to the crushing operation and increase the inter-repair mileage of crushing aggregates.
The choice of the scheme of preparation and the size of the drop-out of the class is determined on the basis of the study of coal, which is part of the charge.
The determination of the chemical potential of coal
In the process of coking, in addition to the main product - coke, important products such as coal tar, benzene, coke oven gas, etc. are obtained. The output of these products determines the chemical potential of coking coal. The Institute has a method for determining the output of chemical coking products.

10. SE «UKHIN» conducts research of alternative types of fuel.
such as: charcoal, peat, coal-wood briquettes, agricultural waste, solid household waste, as well as pellets and briquettes based on these materials and their compounds.
SE «UKHIN» carries out training of specialists of enterprises from the most complicated methods- petrography, plastometry, etc.

11. Founded 1930
Coke department The development of the principles of creating a rational coking technology
- adjusting the temperature regime when changing the conditions of coking (composition and properties of the charge, the conditions of its preparation and the specified period of coking. - reduction of coking rates to a level not exceeding 27 mm / h; - directional influence on the physical and chemical processes of thermal destruction to obtain the required quality coke, as well as the issuance of technological tasks for the design of coke oven batteries (new construction, reconstruction, technical re-equipment).

12. Founded 1930
SE «UKHIN» carries out the determination of the pressure burst which occurs during coking
In order to prevent the destruction of coke ovens, the Institute developed a method for assessing the pressure of the disintegration of coal tar.
The design calculation of the spaces of existing coke ovens for durability and stability is made for a pressure of 7 kPa
For coal mixtures, the burst pressure value is NOT an additive. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically monitor this indicator for charges and its components.
Also, the following techniques are used to assess the quality of coke:
- Reactive ability of SRI and after reactive strength of the SS according to DSTU 4703: 2006 (ISO 18894: 2006); including carrying out works on interlaboratory reproducibility in accordance with DSTU EN ISO / IEC 17043: 2014 and the production of standard samples.
- Pitomy electric resistance according to DSTU GOST 4668: Development of an improved method.
Density and porosity of coke according to DSTU 7668 to: 2015.
Coke burning by method GIAP .
