Supplementary notes

Coke oven gas is a valuable by-product in the conventional production of coke. It enables the recovery of a wide range of other coal by-products, which, when marketed, make the production of coke even more cost-effective. The main product of a dedicated gas treatment unit, the treated coke oven gas, is used as fuel gas although it can also be used as a feedstock for the production of chemical products.
