>ABC Coke
Acquired by Drummond in the early 1980's as part of the
acquisition of the Alabama By-Products Corporation, ABC Coke is located in
Tarrant, Alabama, just north of Birmingham. It is the leading merchant foundry
coke producer in the United States, and is known for its high-quality product
and long-standing customer relationships. The plant has 132 ovens, with an
annual capacity of approximately 730,000 tons of saleable coke.
As with all of Drummond's operations, quality control is
the key to ABC Coke's success. Decades of experience, combined with strict
in-house lab testing, have earned ABC Coke the position of standard-bearer for
the industry.
Drummond once again has proven that the needs of the
customer and the needs of the environment are not mutually exclusive. ABC Coke
runs a continuous program of modernization and environmental compliance,
including several modifications to control potential air and water pollution.
Drummond is the industry leader in reduced emissions, far exceeding all
government requirements by investing in excess of $60 million for sophisticated
environmental control devices. ABC Coke consistently complies with the required
environmental regulations in both air emissions and water quality.
