Southern Coal's process

Southern Coal produces calcined anthracite via two autogenous (self-sustaining) rotary kilns, by heating anthracite coal to between 900 and 1000 degrees centigrade.

Southern Coal prides itself on strict quality control procedures. It has its own in-house laboratory so that regular testing can be carried out to control incoming and outgoing materials, as well as to assist in monitoring the calcining process. For accredited product testing and analysis, Southern Coal utilises an independent laboratory that is located adjacent to its own premises.

Products

At Southern Coal a variety of feed materials from different mines, with varying qualities and chemical analysis, can be sourced and so a variety of products can be produced.

In addition to the calcining process, Southern Coal focuses on sizing of its calcined materials using screening plants, crushers, and strict quality control measures.
