An innovative cokemaking process, SCOPE21 (Super Coke Oven for Productivity and Environmental enhancement toward the 21st century), has been developed by JISF (The Japan Iron and Steel Federation) and CCUJ (Center for Coal Utilization, Japan). A test plant has been constructed in Nippon Steel's Nagoya Works as the final phase of the project. Coke pushing behavior was studied at the pilot plant and influence of coking conditions on the pushing force was investigated.
