Dortmund/Germany – Thyssenkrupp Uhde has been awarded a major contract by Posco E&C to design and supply a new low-emission, top charge coke oven battery for the Posco Pohang Steelworks in South Korea. The new unit will replace the existing Battery #3A at the Pohang site. The design incorporates Thyssenkrupp Uhde’s proprietary Envibat technology, ensuring significantly reduced emissions during the coking process. The contract also includes engineering and supply of a state of the art Monoclaus plant to replace the outdated two stage Claus units, as well as a new emission free tar separation plant to modernize the existing facility.

“With this state-of-the-art, low-emission facility, Posco E&C and Thyssenkrupp Uhde are making a meaningful contribution to enhancing the environmental performance of the Posco Pohang Steelworks,” says Michael Petzinna, Executive Director of the Coke Plant Operating Unit. “We are pleased to continue our long-standing partnership with Posco and Posco E&C, which dates back to the 1970s, and are proud to contribute our decades of plant engineering and process expertise to this project.”

The project is part of Posco’s broader modernization program for its coke plants. As part of this initiative, the original Battery #3A from the 1980s will be shut down and replaced by new, low-emission, state-of-the-art systems. The order covers technology provision, engineering, equipment procurement, site supervision services, and commissioning support. Posco E&C and Thyssenkrupp Uhde are acting as reliable partners for this EP pad up project, combining extensive plant engineering experience with highly efficient technologies designed to meet – and exceed – stringent environmental standards.
