Petroleum Coke, often referred to as petcoke, is a solid carbon-rich material derived from the refining of crude oil. It is produced during the thermal cracking process in oil refineries, where heavy hydrocarbon molecules are broken down into lighter products such as gasoline and diesel. The remaining solid residue — petroleum coke — is a highly stable, energy-dense byproduct that serves as a valuable raw material in various industrial applications.
There are several types of petroleum coke, including fuel-grade petcoke, electrode-grade coke, and coal coke substitutes. Fuel-grade petroleum coke is primarily used as a low-cost fuel in cement kilns, power plants, and industrial furnaces due to its high calorific value. Electrode-grade coke, on the other hand, is a high-purity form used in the production of anodes for aluminum smelting and graphite electrodes in steel manufacturing.
The combination of petroleum, electrode pitch, and coal coke makes this material an essential component in heavy industries that require strong, heat-resistant, and conductive carbon-based materials. Its versatility and energy efficiency contribute significantly to sectors such as metallurgy, cement, and chemical manufacturing.
Our high-quality petroleum coke is refined and processed to meet global standards for carbon content, purity, and performance. It ensures consistent combustion, minimal ash residue, and optimal efficiency for both energy production and metallurgical applications.
With its superior energy value and adaptability, petroleum coke continues to play a crucial role in supporting industrial growth and global energy demands — providing a sustainable and cost-effective solution for high-temperature operations.
