An Update on SunCoke Operations from Robert Parnell, General Manager |
Tuesday, November 8, 2011 8:27:53 AM - Middletown Ohio |
We are committed to providing updates on milestone events at the plant. Heat Up is on schedule. We plan on introducing coal into ovens 1 - 60 beginning at 7:00 PM on Saturday, October 29. On Sunday, October 30 at approximately 10:00 PM we will push coke from 30 of the ovens, the even numbered ovens, for the first time. From that point onward we will be pushing 30 ovens per day for the following 20 to 25 days at which time ovens 61 - 100 will be charged with coal and placed into production. We have received 2 trains worth of coal and expect the third between now and Monday, October 31 and will be moving into nominally 1 train every 4 days. There will be times when schedule overlaps make it necessary to have 2 trains on site simultaneously. We will endeavor to schedule deliveries so as to prevent this situation. (Note from Judy: We are thrilled to see this $390 Million project begin operations. Another positive step for Middletown!)
