Coal undergoes a dry distillation process, through which two types of coke are created and diversified based on their final use: foundry coke and metallurgical coke. Blast furnace coke can also be produced upon special request.

Other products
The products derived from the process are coal tar and ammonium sulphate, as well as steam and electricity.
Coal tar
Viscous liquid produced during coke production.
Ammonium sulphate
An ammonium salt of sulphuric acid. It is mainly used as a fertiliser for soils that are too basic.
Electricity
The cogeneration plant generates electricity from the gases produced from distillation.
