Alessio Ferraris

Title: Alessio Ferraris and Coke Oven Plant Innovation.

Introduction

Alessio Ferraris is an inventor associated with Grondona, Italy, and Paul Wurth S.A. His patent work addresses the operation of coke oven plants and the controlled use of industrial gas streams.

Latest Patents

Ferraris is associated with 1 patent, titled “Method for Operating a Coke Oven Plant.” The invention describes treating part of a blast furnace gas stream in a CO converter and a CO-depletion unit, then blending the resulting gas with controlled proportions of untreated blast furnace gas and coke oven gas. The blended gas is supplied to the coke oven’s underfiring system, where coal is converted into coke.

Analyzers measure gas properties after the mixing stages. Their readings guide adjustments to the gas proportions, helping control properties such as CO and hydrogen content, Wobbe Index, stoichiometric combustion air demand, and lower heating value. This approach is intended to regulate the fuel supplied to the underfiring system.
