A case study using coke oven and Linz-Donawitz converter gas is presented here. The data is obtained from an existing plant located in Northern Spain. The engines are adapted for its operation with converter gas, and steam is generated in boilers that consume coke gas, converter gas and natural gas in the absence of waste gases. The actual influence on the environmental behaviour of the process is analysed considering the benefits but also the drawbacks derived from the gases low calorific value, toxicity and polluting. The work constitutes the first study in an installation with these characteristics and burning this combination of gases. The functional unit is represented by 1 MWh of thermal energy.
