Description
The treatment activity ended with the treatment of 1 m3 of coke oven gas at the gas-fired power plant. The data of this dataset is formed by combining data from multiple sources.
Activity Description
The core process of gas-fired power generation involves converting the gas produced during the metallurgical processes of blast furnaces, coke ovens, and converters into electrical energy. The gas-fired power generation process includes auxiliary material procurement and storage, gas transportation to combustion equipment, combustion of mixed fuels, conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy, as well as treatment of by-products and waste generated during the power generation process.
Process Description
Coke Oven Gas (COG), also known as coke oven gas, is a type of high-calorific-value gas, crude gas or raw gas due to its high content of combustible components. It refers to a flammable gas produced during the high-temperature dry distillation of a blend of bituminous coals prepared for coking in a coke oven, while producing coke and tar products, and is a by-product of the coking industry. Coke oven gas is a mixture, and its yield and composition vary depending on the quality of coking coal and the conditions of the coking process. Generally, 300–350 cubic meters (under standard conditions) of coke oven gas can be produced per ton of dry coal, with a calorific value of approximately 17.3854 MJ per standard cubic meter.

Technology comment
The purified gas is delivered to a gas turbine or gas generator for combustion, producing power to drive the generator for electricity generation. Waste heat from the electricity generation process can be used for heating or other industrial processes, further improving energy efficiency.
