Industrial Relic

A view of the by-product facility at the Shenango coke plant at Neville Island, Pa. The facility is the part of the coke works where the gases that leave the coke oven chambers are recovered and processed so that it can be used as a fuel gas.  At the end of 2015, DTE Energy Corp announced it was closing its Shanango Neville Island plant, located 5 miles downstream on the Ohio River from Pittsburgh, Pa. The facility which produced blast furnace coke and related products for steelmaking, would be shut down due to a “sharp downtown in the North American steel industry.”
