A S Jessup-Bould: Coke Works Experience |
||
Between 1985 and 1999 I was involved with coke works through my
employment with OSC Process Engineering Limited (formerly Otto Simon-Carves).
Engineering activities are divided in to "Black-side" and
"White-side".
Black-side deals with the batteries of ovens in which coal is heated and
carbonised to coke in the absence of air. The batteries are huge refractory
structures served by heavy machinery used to handle the coal and coke.
White-side deals with the by-product plant which cleans the gas given
off during carbonisation so that it can be used as a fuel. As the term
by-product infers, the plant also recovers saleable components from the gas.
Most of my activities were as a process engineer for by-product plants.
I have also experience in the refining of benzol
and tar produced
from byproduct plants.
