Artifact Overview
Coke ovens at Ford Motor Company's Rouge plant converted coal into high-carbon coke, used in the factory's blast furnaces to make iron. The coking process also produced gas used to heat some of the factory's other furnaces. Additional by-products included ammonium sulfate fertilizer, and a light oil that Ford blended with gasoline to create its own Benzol brand of fuel.
