Our Start Up company Kerks Technologies Private Limited is committed to revolutionize the steel industry and agricultural sector by providing comprehensive solutions that address environmental & economical challenges. Through our patented technology, we offer a holistic approach to solve the pressing environmental issues like carbon emissions, water conservation , fossil fuels , food wastages etc.
At present steel industry is responsible for approximately 11% of global carbon emissions. In coming years the steel production is going to rise and also the carbon emissions especially from BF-BOF route. Our patented technology "Apparatuses for Controlling Emission during Incandescent Coke Pushing and Heat recovery in Wet Quenching Process" empowers steel & coke manufacturers with precise control over carbon emissions during the coke-making process. By this breakthrough technology, the steel industry can significantly reduce its carbon foot print and optimize its coke rate Blast Furnaces. The technology also optimizes the use of coke oven gas in heating chambers of coke ovens and enhance its availability for consumption in integrated power plants. This helps in reducing consumption of boiler coal (fossil fuels) in power plants . At Kerks Technologies we believe in four R's in environmental sustainability i,e,. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover.
Our technology increases the energy efficiency in wet coke quenching by unique heat recovery system. The technology enables to recover around 30% of heat energy during quenching process. Unlike the CDQ ( Coke Dry Quenching ) technology , the patented technology uses the thermal energy for heating the coke oven chambers. The technology also boasts supply of dry coke i.e. ess than 1 % moisture content to Blast Furnaces which is at par with the CDQ...
Our technology's innovative cooling process facilitates the extraction of blue hydrogen, a clean and sustainable energy source and Carbon Dioxide implying Carbon Capture Utilization & Storage (CCUS). By adopting the technology the steel plants can come up as a big source of blue hydrogen generation, which can benefit various industries including steel industry who are looking for decarbonisation in steel making process. The Hydrogen injection in Blast Furnaces can greatly reduce the coke consumption in Blast Furnaces, It is well known that coke is the most costly input in steel making ( around 42% of the input cost). Thus, the in house availability of Hydrogen can drastically reduce the manufacturing cost of steel apart from decarbonisation. The Carbon Dioxide gas captured in the process can cater to the huge market demand of CO2 gas. By integrating this process into steel production, we contribute to the transition towards cleaner energy alternatives, aligning with global initiatives for a low-carbon future.
It is a known fact that in absence of proper grain storage facilities millions of ton of food grain gets damaged every year. Further, the farmers do not have scientific storage for grains at their yards, This results in distress selling and inconsistent remuneration of their produce. Our design patent introduces scientific storage units tailored for farmers and farmer's cooperative societies, strategically positioned at the farm gate level. These units offer a revolutionary solution for the proper storage of paddy, grains, and agricultural produce throughout the crop season. Bridging the gap between harvest and marketing, our storage units empower farmers with extended control over the timing and conditions of crop sales. This not only minimizes wastage but also ensures that farmers receive optimal returns for their produce. The modular grain godown is designed for quick assembling at village Panchayat level which offers safe and secure storage and also enables farmers to get the proper remuneration under NABARD schemes.
Our modified atmosphere storage (MAS) units are specially designed for crops like oil seeds & pulses which are early perishable. This type of storage enables farmers to hold their produce at their yards and till the market prices are appreciated.
