Abstract—The efficiency of chemical shops at coke plants depends on reliable equipment and design innovations. New high-speed equipment is associated with lower construction costs and lower operating costs. An innovation developed at Giprokoks is gas purification and the synthesis of motor fuel on that basis by coal gasification.

Abstract—New approaches permit the optimization of coal preparation and coke sorting. They may be used in construction and reconstruction projects at coke plants.

Abstract—The diversification of activity at Giprokoks is discussed, including a large-scale project for the production of synthetic motor fuels (gasoline, dimethyl ether) by the gasification of coal; the conversion of solid domestic waste; the gasification of lignite for sponge-iron production; plasma technology for coal gasification; and the production of commercial hydrogen and biofuels.

Abstract—The principles for the integration of Ukraine into the European Community (EC) regarding the introduction of best available techniques (BAT) in coke production are briefly discussed. The BAT principles for coke plants corresponding to EC laws are outlined, and the concept of best available techniques is defined. BAT principles for decrease in atmospheric emissions of pollutants are considered. Examples of optimized Giprokoks designs for the construction and reconstruction of coke batteries and byproduct-capture shops are described. Successful programs for the introduction of environmental measures at coke plants on the basis of BAT are noted. Standards for pollutant emissions are given in the light of the best available techniques. Measurement data for pollutant emissions from equipment based on Giprokoks designs are reported. Examples of Giprokoks designs for effective use of secondary energy resources and decrease in the energy costs of production are given. Designs for waste-disposal systems at coke plants are also presented. Those systems permit processing of coking byproducts and wastes generated at the plant and also many nonspecific wastes of auxiliary processes, without any changes in the existing conditions of coke production.
