    "... The Prosper coking plant is located in Bottrop. It is one of the three coking plants currently in operation in the Ruhr area. The Prosper coking plant is the last coking plant operated by the successor company of Ruhrkohle AG - RAG Deutsche Steinkohle AG It was taken over on June 1, 2011 by the steel company ArcelorMittal.
    Story:
    In 1928, a system designed as a central coking plant with initially four batteries of 45 ovens was put into operation in Bottrop in order to replace the many smaller coking plants and to be able to work more economically overall. In the 1930s, after adding three batteries, the plant delivered around 5,000 t of coke per day.
    The coking plant was badly damaged in the attack on November 30, 1944 during the Second World War.
    Between 1982 and 1989 the coke batteries were completely replaced by modern technology. Today the plant consists of three batteries with a total of 146 coking chambers. The daily output is 5,500 t of coke. The “white side” was kept up-to-date in 1982 with a gas desulphurisation system and in 1998 with a debenzene removal system. The coking plant has a workforce of 480 employees. ... "
