Screening will also remove any foreign objects that may have entered the product since its production in the coke battery. Electro-Coal has two hundred acres of soil cement storage area. This allows for the room to screen. At Electro-Coal, we screen a great deal of furnace coke. The reasons are as varied as the customers are.
Storage is also valuable to the overseas coke producer.
They can store product in America and move it to their customers in a timely manner. Once the furnace coke is in the river barge, the next phase of the journey begins. Loaded barges are put into a local fleet near the loading area. This allows for the efficient and timely dispatch of your cargo to your customer. At Electro-Coal, our fleets can hold about 400 barges.
