*1 Coke Dry Quenching (CDQ)
CDQ plants use an inert gas inside a cooling tower to cool red-hot coke which is coal carbonized in a coke oven. The sensible heat of red-hot coke, which previously used to be diffused, is recovered as steam with a boiler. These systems have been attracting considerable attention in recent years for three benefits they offer: less amount of dust generated when cooling coke, reduced CO2 emissions through power generation by steam, and improved quality of coke suited to use in a blast furnace.
