 IN PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE

 We are well on our way to exceed rated monthly target of 7700 TPD

 Although the total fuel rate have been lower than 535 Kg/THM, monthly
CDI rate of 150 Kg/THM or better remains our next challenge

 CDQ fines utilization through the CDI route is being developed as a

techno-economic advantage

 Consistency in base mix blending is higher and piling and bedding

models are being used to maintain input quality

 We have started a project to use the under size from Centre coke
screen to be again used as surface coke.
