Coke Ovens

Coke ovens convert coal into coke, a critical fuel and reducing agent in steelmaking. The process produces large volumes of wastewater laden with tar, oils, and suspended solids that collect in sumps and require removal or recirculation for treatment.

Challenges:
Coke oven wastewater is highly contaminated with viscous hydrocarbons, fine solids, and corrosive chemicals. Conventional pumps struggle with sticky residues that cause blockages, seal failures, and motor overloads. High temperature and chemical content further accelerate corrosion and wear.

Solution:
Hevvy/Toyo’s heavy-duty submersible and cantilever pumps excel in handling viscous, contaminated fluids. Their open impellers, optional elastomer linings, and agitator technology prevent buildup and maintain smooth flow. With corrosion-resistant materials and mechanical seal protection, these pumps offer reliable operation in the harsh, hot, and chemical-laden environment of coke oven systems.
