Commissioned in 1984, Battery 1 has suffered from some deterioration as a result of demand variations and operational events, leading to a reduction in weekly output. Battery 1 produces metallurgical coke for British Steel’s Blast Furnace team to use in the iron making process at the heart of British Steel’s operations. With Battery 1 back in full operation; British Steel’s operation can hope to increase production, sustainability and reliability.

OSL’s Operation & Maintenance team has extensive experience of working on the British Steel site and we’re excited to build on our experience from the Battery 3 Hot Idle Project to help deliver this programme in partnership with British Steel.
