PET COKE 

 

​

Petroleum coke, abbreviated coke or petcoke, is a final carbon-rich solid material that derives from oil refining and is one type of the group of fuels referred to as cokes. We offer Pet coke with competitive price and highest quality and supply all over the world. We can cater to the specific customer needs in terms of composition, and quantity. 

 

Pet Coke for World:

 

About 80 percent of worldwide petroleum coke, or petcoke, production is “fuel-grade” and used for electricity generation and in Cement kilns. Petcoke is used by brick and glass manufacturers because it has a significantly lower ash content compared to other fuels, also in the production of titanium dioxide, a mineral that is used as a substitute for lead in paint. It is also a pigment in sunscreen, plastic and food coloring.

 

Varieties of Pet Coke:

 

There are at least four basic types of petroleum coke, namely, needle coke, honeycomb coke, sponge coke and shot coke. Different types of petroleum coke have different microstructures due to differences in operating variables and nature of feedstock. Significant differences are also to be observed in the properties of the different types of coke, particularly ash and volatile matter contents.

 

Needle coke, also called acicular coke, is a highly crystalline petroleum coke used in the production of electrodes for the steel and aluminium industries and is particularly valuable because the electrodes must be replaced regularly. Needle coke is produced exclusively from either FCC decant oil or coal tar pitch. 

 

Honeycomb coke is an intermediate coke, with ellipsoidal pores that are uniformly distributed. Compared to needle coke, honeycomb coke has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion and a lower electrical conductivity.
