The bunker for feeding the battery is on the right. To the left is the plant for cleaning the coke oven gas and byproduct recovery. Somewhere in the vicinity will be the exhauster plant with steam turbines driving exhausters to pull the gas off the battery. There is also a booster house with reciprocating compressors pumping to the gas holders. I've seen this on an urban exploration site.
