Product Description
Petroleum coke also known as pet coke, refers to a carbonaceous solid procured from the refining procedure of crude oil. Traditionally, pet coke appears to be black or dark gray in color with a powdery or granular texture, however the appearance may vary based on its grade and processing method. It majorly possesses carbon (approximately 80-90%) with traces of sulfur.
Petroleum coke is usually produced through the thermal decomposition of heavy hydrocarbon fractions procured during the refining of crude oil. These fractions of heavy hydrocarbon are further subjected to temperatures in a delayed cooking unit which in turn breaks down the large hydrocarbon molecules leading to the formation of petroleum coke.
Petroleum coke is widely used in a wide array of industries including fuel in power generation, cement production, metal smelting, anode production, and fuel for industrial procedures.
