With regard to the situation for new projects, delays, terminations and onhold
settings were the result.
Some examples:
The contract for the second battery of Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann
(HKM), located in Duisburg, Germany was placed on hold. The
engineering for 70 high-capacity slot-type ovens for a production of 1.1
mill t/year has been finalised and the preparation site works have been
stopped. So far there is no further progress visible.
In the USA two contracts have been influenced. One was for US-Steel
Clairton Works and has been terminated. Uhde Dortmund as technologysupplier
for Uhde Corporation of America (UCA) has prepared a certain
amount of the engineering work for the rebuild of Battery C, comprising 85
slot-type ovens with a height of 6.1m and providing a production capacity
of 0.9 mill t/year. After a long period this was the first contract for a
conventional coke oven battery in the US due to the fact that the EPA has
acknowledged the installation of PROVen ® the single oven pressure control
system at this battery as an alternative to the environmentally friendly heatrecovery
coking technology.
The second project in the US to be mentioned is kept on hold. A leading
steel company has placed an order to UCA for a heat-recovery coking plant,
