Metallurgical Coke (Met Coke) is produced by carbonizing selected coking coal at high temperatures in coke ovens under oxygen-free conditions. It is a high-carbon, high-strength, low-volatile fuel used as a reducing agent and energy source in iron and steel production.
Due to its high fixed carbon, strong mechanical strength, and low impurity levels, Met Coke is an essential raw material for Blast Furnaces, Foundries, and Ferro-Alloy industries,
