Description

During the short 179 week 4th campaign of Redcar blast furnace, persistent cash constraints led to a number of compromises concerning the limits of raw material quality and composition, particularly for high PCI rate operation. At the modest productivity required, high coke quality enabled low fuel rate, high PCI operation at a relatively high lump ore proportion. Poor quality coke led to a number of severe process upsets.
