Steel Foundries: Steel foundries use coke to provide additional carbon content to the molten metal depending upon the specification of the casting.

Nonferrous metal castings; Foundries that make castings of Copper and Brass use Coke for melting the metal.

Lead and zinc Smelters: Coke is a prime ingredient in the process of lead and Zinc smelting.

Secondary Steel Producers: Mini steel plants that produce steel from recycled steel scrap and sponge irons require coke.

Chemical Plants: Some soda ash plants and calcium carbide producers require coke in their process.

Ferro Alloy Plants: Ferro alloy producers require coke for their production. Coke is used as a reducing agent in this process.
