Electrodes
Anthracite is the primary raw material in the production
of electrodes for use in the ferrous, non-ferrous, and
ferroalloys manufacturing. Prior to its use, it has to
be cleaned to eliminate the rocks and shale to reach ash
levels of 9% maximum. This cleaning process, followed
by calcination in electric furnaces to increase its conductivity,
makes our anthracite a highly sought after product. As
a result, Jeddo Coal Company is the largest supplier to
the largest calcining and Sodergberg’s electrode
operation in the USA.
Filter Media
Jeddo Coal Company produces one of the best feed stock
for companies in the water filtration market. Our capabilities
to maintain media size grain, shape, density and small
attrition losses allows us to demand prices at the top
of the scale for the dual and multi-media configuration
filtration systems. We guarantee a minimum of 70% filter
media (1mm x 2mm) in our product.
Electric
Furnace Users
In the last two decades, great strides have been made
in the electric furnace steel production. Perhaps the
most important was the use of anthracite as a foaming
slag for protection of furnace walls and roofs. This
introduction has resulted in decreasing tapping time
by half, by staying on high tap all of the time, and
by less downtime due to refractory savings. Also, the
decline of blast furnaces and increased scrap recycling
has created a market for anthracite as a carbon and heat
source during melting. Call us for detailed information
on trace elements, phosphorous, and nitrogen contents.
