Within the scope of a plant contract received from JFE Steel Corporation, OTTO Corporation of Tokyo has commissioned Uhde to provide engineering and supply services.
The contract from JFE Steel concerns the construction of a new coke oven battery with an annual production capacity of 400,000 t of blast
furnace coke at Kurashiki, some 160 km west of Osaka. Within the scope of this contract Uhde will be responsible for the basic engineering, supply of special equipment and supervision of the construction and commissioning activities.
