Petroleum Coke (Petcoke)

Petroleum Coke (commonly called Petcoke) is a carbon-rich solid material derived from the thermal cracking and coking process in oil refineries. It is widely used as a fuel source and as a raw material in industrial processes, thanks to its high calorific value and low ash content

Advantages

High calorific value for efficient combustion
Cost-effective alternative to coal and other solid fuels
Non-sanctioned origin ensures smooth trade and financial transactions

Applications

Cement industry: Fuel for kilns and clinker production
Power generation: Alternative to coal in thermal power plants
Metallurgy: Used in steel and aluminum smelting as a carbon source
Industrial heating: Large-scale furnaces and boilers
