Ex-General Manager of BSP invents unique wet coke quenching processStaff ReporterBHILAI,A new wet coke quenching process has been invented by an Ex-General Manager of Bhilai Steel Plant, Ravi Rattan Kerketta. The invention is revolutionary because for the first time the heat energy of steam during the wet coke quenching is gainfully utilised. The invention addresses major problems of traditional wet coke quenching like, carbon emission (air pollution) during coke pushing from coke ovens, huge water consumption in quenching towers, generation of large phenolic water waste, particulate emission from drying coke in open wharfs. Kerketta told that, he has conceptualised and designed six main machines and equipment for the new wet quenching technique. The hot coke is then transferred to an uniquely designed coke disperse car, which spreads the hot coke on a tilting cooling bed.
