DAMANI GROUP presents:
VEROLINE® PI, an adventure that began in 1997 at the ARCELORMITTAL France coking plant:
For more than 25 years, VEROLINE® PI  technology has been positioning and identifying hundreds of coke oven machines and thousands of coke ovens around the world. ARCELORMITTAL, NIPPON STEEL, US STEEL, POSCO, CHINA STEEL and many other steel groups rely on VEROLINE® PI  for the automation of their coking plants.

With nearly 15 years of experience in various sectors of activity such as medical and plastics, the DAMANI Group acquired VEROLINE ® in 2016. Since the early 90s, this company has specialized in the development and marketing of sensors necessary for the automation of coke oven machines.

VEROLINE ® technology is used all over the world, on many coke plants. Its robustness and integrated technologies have made it one of the benchmarks for coke plant machine automation projects.
DAMANI is present in the main industrialized countries through local partners or manufacturers of coke plant machines (VECON, JMH, Paul W, etc.). The DAMANI Group believes in and invests in VEROLINE ® technology to ensure its sustainability for many years to come

VEROLINE ® PI as "P" for POSITIONING and "I" for IDENTIFICATION. This version of the VEROLINE ® PI sensor is fitted to the Charging car, Pusher car, Guide coke car because these machines need precise positioning (+/-3mm) and identification of the ovens. The HEAD®PI  are fixed in front of each ovens. Thus, these machines have reliable and accurate information, without contact, to stop at the exact desired location.

GORATOR® – The "Green Keeper" for Sustainable Coke Plant Operations
The growing demand for environmental sustainability in industrial processes hashighlighted the need for innovative technologies that can optimize both production efficiency andecological impact. GORATOR®, the "Green Keeper," represents a cutting-edge solution for themodernization of traditional coke tar processes, addressing both operational and environmentachallenges in coke plants.
Coke production has traditionally relied on manual coke particle separation via gravity insedimentation pools, a process that generates significant environmental load through ammoniagasification and the critical disposal of coke particle sediments. GORATOR® transforms this processby providing a closed system with leak-tight sealing, effectively eliminating harmful gas emissionsand preventing external gasification.
This innovative technology ensures the continuous flow of coke partices without the clogging ofpipes, which is a common problem due to the formation of coke lumps. By using centrifugal forcesGORATOR® enables the extraction of coke particles, reducing them to uniformly defined smallpieces. In doing so, it improves the pumpability of materials, eliminates sedimentation challenges,and enhances the overall quality of the coke product.
In essence, GORATORe functions as a conditioning unit that utilizes a combination of physical andmechanical processes-such as cutting & grinding, mixing, and homogenization-to improve thecoke separation process. Notably, GORATOR® is not a pump; instead, it uses minimal input energy,with a focus on increasing the fluid's energy while ensuring efficient operation without the need forexcessive energy consumption.
By embracing GORATOR® as part of the modernization effort, coke plants can achieve greaterenvironmental protection, improve operational efficiency, and foster a greener, more sustainablefuture for the industry, The "Green Keeper" offers a practical, scalable solution to meet the demandsof both economic growth and environmental responsibility.

Xcoal Energy & Resources is a leading worldwide supplier of metallurgical and thermal coals from the
United States and Australia. Xcoal supplies low-volatile, mid-volatile, high-volatile, and semisoft coking
coals to steel customers throughout the world. It also supplies high-quality anthracite coal for use in
metallurgical processing. As a global supplier of energy, it also provides thermal coal and LNG to electric utility and industrial customers around the world.

As part of Xcoal’s commitment to expand and support its global business, Xcoal operates eighteen offices in eleven countries. Since inception, Xcoal has shipped over 200 million metric tons of products to customers. Xcoal’s customers benefit from innovative logistical processes, including the internationally recognized “top off” operation, which maximizes vessel efficiencies, while demonstrating the long-term sustainability and competitiveness of U.S. coals in the global marketplace.

Xcoal Energy & Resources established XLNG Energy & Resources in 2015. This venture complements
Xcoal’s current coal marketing business, as many coal customers are also consumers of liquefied natural gas (LNG). XLNG builds on Xcoal’s marketing infrastructure and commercial relationships while utilizing a well-established and successful business model.

New in 2022, Xcoal diversified its steelmaker customer base to include electric arc furnace (EAF) users.
Xcoal leveraged deep relationships in the industry and its expertise in supply chains to begin supplying pig iron and direct reduced iron (DRI). With expansion into this exciting new segment, Xcoal stands ready to fulfill the resource needs of our steelmaking customers – whether in a traditional blast furnace or in an EAF capacity.
