The production of the Petroleum Coke takes place in rotational kilns under the temperatures of 1400-1500^oC with the help of calcination of the green petroleum coke. We are a highly trusted Manufacturer & Supplier of Petroleum Coke, which is demanded by the industrial sectors such as steel, aluminum and titanium smelting. The Petroleum Coke is useful in the dry cells production process as well. Manufactured by Reliance, Essar, Indian Oil Corporation, HPCL Mittal Energy Ltd.

PET Coke Applications : Coke is used as a fuel and as a reducing agent in smelting iron ore in a blast furnace. Any coal using industry can be a potential consumer of Petcoke.

Major industrial segments using Fuel grade Petcoke in India are :

• Cement Kilns
• Thermal Power Plants
• Brick Kilns
• Lime Kilns
• Paper Industry
• Steel Rolling Mills
• Foundries     

Major Characterstics  :

• Petroleum coke is the solid residue remaining after the distillation of petroleum materials. It is a carbonaceous solid derived from oil refinery Delayed Coker Unit.
• High Carbon Content : It’s high carbon content makes it an excellent heat energy source.
• High Calorific Value : Petcoke has high calorific value, ranging from 7000 to 8500 Kcal/kg, which makes it an economic fuel as compared to the alternate fuel coal.
• Low Volatile Matter : Low volatile matter makes it a slow burning fuel so it requires high ignition temperature.
• High Sulphur Content : It has high Sulphur content, which necessitates the deployment of SOx capture or removal system to reduce SO2 emissions. However, Petcoke is ideal for burning in lime kilns, where the sulphur combines with various salts of calcium to form sulphates, thus limiting the SO2 emission.
• Low Ash Content : Petcoke has extremely low ash content, which eliminates the need to handle and dispose high quantity of ash associated with combustion of Indian coal having 15-35% ash.
• High Hard Grove Index : Pet coke has low Hard Groove Index, which makes it relatively harder material to grind and pulverise.
