25 May 2022

The Coke Battery No. 3 Modernization was completed and commissioned as part of energy efficiency-oriented investments at İsdemir, Turkey's only and largest integrated facility capable of producing long and flat steel at the same time. With the new battery commissioned, İsdemir aims to increase its by-product sales volume, to save energy and to prevent imports by increasing the production of metallurgical coke.

Endeavoring to use its existing resources effectively, efficiently and correctly in order to fulfill its responsibility in the region where it operates, Isdemir continues its investments focused on improving environmental performance in order to leave a cleaner and more livable world to future generations.

Considering responsible production as an unchangeable basic requirement, İsdemir completed the assembly and commissioning of the Coke Battery No. 3 with an annual capacity of 500 thousand tons within the scope of the New Coke Battery Modernization project carried out to increase energy efficiency, and realized the first coke production. Designed to operate with coke gas and mixed gas, the battery is equipped with dust collection systems to prevent propulsion and charging emissions that cause environmental pollution.

With the new coke battery put into operation, İsdemir aims to increase its by-product sales volume and to provide energy savings in natural gas use.

İsdemir continues its works without slowing down to complete the investments for the New 1st Blast Furnace and Vacuum Degassing Plant, which are currently underway.
