Petroleum Coke Manufacturers

Petroleum coke is a carbonaceous solid derived from oil refinery coker. There are several types of petroleum coke produced depending upon the process used, operating conditions, and feedstock properties. It contains some high-molecular-weight hydrocarbons left from incomplete carbonization reactions. These incompletely carbonized molecules are referred to as volatile materials in the coke. Fuel grade cokes are sold as green coke. The main uses of petroleum coke include fuel, manufacture of anodes for electrolytic cell reduction of alumina, direct use as chemical carbon source for manufacture of elemental phosphorus, calcium carbide, & silicon carbide and manufacture of graphite.
