Coke plant to be built in Mongolia's Gobi region

Mining

A Mongolian and a German company will join forces to build a coke plant in the Gobi desert. Officials hope the factory will produce 2 million tons of coke per year.

The companies, Industrial Corporation Mongolia L.L.C. and ThyssenKrupp of Germany, will build the plant near Choir city in southern Mongolia, close to coking coal mines.

For the past three years, Industrial Corporation Mongolia studied the type of technology best suited for Mongolia. Officials announced they would install a "Heat Recovery" system by Uhde L.L.C. to produce coke from coal. This process was invented by Uhde company and is used in the USA, Australia, and elsewhere. Further, this type of plant can use air cooling without water as requested by Industrial Corporation Mongolia.

Uhde L.L.C. provides 70% of world coke supplies and operates plants in the USA, Russia, Germany, South Korea, Japan, Brazil and China.
