Petroleum Coke

Petroleum coke (petcoke) is a by-product of the oil refining process. As refineries around the world seek to operate more efficiently and extract more gasoline and other high-value fuels from each barrel of crude oil, a solid carbon material called petcoke has emerged.

 

The physical and chemical properties of petroleum coke depend on the crude oil and refining technology used in the refinery. Physically, petroleum coke can be hard or relatively soft. It can resemble a large sponge with many holes, or it can resemble small spheres ranging in size from a grain of sand to a large marble. From a chemical point of view, petroleum coke may contain a wide range of elements and metals in a wide range of concentrations. Depending on these physical and chemical properties, petroleum coke is often used as a source of British Thermal Units (BTUs) in energy applications or as a source of carbon in industrial applications.

 

Petroleum coke is a carbon-rich solid material that is a by-product of the crude oil refining process. Its properties are very similar to those of coal, but petroleum coke has many advantages.

 

Petroleum coke is the coke produced from the final cracking process, which takes place in a delayed coking unit. The chemical and physical properties of petroleum coke depend on the composition of the crude oil used and the refining process. Physically, petroleum coke can resemble large or small black lumps with a porous feel.

 

Due to its higher calorific value than coal, it can be used as a heating material in industrial environments. Fuel grade petroleum coke burns without producing visible ash. Petroleum coke is an extremely stable fuel, which means that there is little risk of combustion during transportation and it can be stored for long periods without difficulty.
