Petroleum Coke

Petroleum coke is a byproduct of crude oil refining, produced as a solid, porous carbon material. Due to its high carbon content, adequate strength, and favorable thermal properties, it plays a key role in various industries, particularly steel and aluminum.
Petroleum coke is produced and supplied in different types, such as calcined and raw, and depending on the processing, it is used in diverse applications ranging from industrial fuel to raw material for graphite electrodes.

Features

• High fixed carbon content
• High thermal power
• Good resistance to wear
• High density and low porosity (in calcined type)
• Cost-effective for industrial use

Applications

• Production of graphite electrodes in steel and aluminum industries
• As fuel in industrial furnaces and power plants
• Raw material in chemical and metallurgy industries
• Reducing agent in metal smelting and refining processes
• Production of carbon anodes for aluminum industries
