Sized coal with medium and low level of volatiles is used for house heating and in technological processes.
Nowadays one of the coal types, delivered by PRAKTIKA company is sized coal, which makes 10% of the total coal volume sold by our company. Sized coal exported by PRAKTIKA is represented by washed SSPK grade (50-200 mm) and washed SSOM grade (13-50 mm).
Our company also offer on the market sized unwashed coal : grades DKO (50-70 mm) and DPK (50 200 mm) with higher level of volatile matters. D type coal grades, offered by PRAKTIKA, have untypically high level of NCV (up to 6300 kkal/kg). Our unwashed D type coal grades almost don’t have non-coal contamination.

Medium Volatiles Washed SSPK grade has such advantages as the content of large fractions, high NCV (up to 7900 kcal/kg) and optimal Hardgrove index, low ash and moisture contents, almost absolute absence of sulphur and toxic elements. Besides, this coal is homogeneous in size without non-coal contamination. Washed SSOM grade with smaller fraction size has the same technical parameters. All the above mentioned characteristics can qualify the sized coal exported by our company as the coal of very high quality.
