1. A system for producing quenched coke, comprising:
a coke oven for receiving an amount of coal and heating the amount of coal to produce coke;
a plurality of bump plates, wherein the bump plates are disposed (i) over a base surface able to withstand temperatures of the coke and (ii) such that individual bump plates abut one another, individual ones of the plurality of bump plates including—
a base portion including a first end region, a second end region, and an intermediate region between the first end region and the second end region, wherein the base portion is planar and a top surface of the base portion is spaced apart from the base surface by a thickness of the base portion; and
one or more raised portions at the intermediate region of the base portion, the one of more raised portions extending from the base portion,
wherein the one or more raised portions are configured to crack the coke when the coke is put into communication with the one or more raised portions;
a quenching tower for receiving the coke and quenching the coke; and
one or more train cars for transporting the coke from the coke oven to the quenching tower.
