valuable by-product of the coke process in oil refineries

available in different grades of quality

■ Thermal processing of green petroleum coke to calcined petroleum coke by:

■ removing associated moisture and volatile combustion matter

■ improving critical physical properties like electrical conductivity, real density, oxidation characteristics

■ Calcined petroleum coke (CPC) is an important industrial

commodity linking the oil refining, metallurgical/

chemical with solid material industries and an aluminium

and titanium dioxide production

■ Technip’s unique technology expertise and value chain

Petroleum coke calcining is a thermal process to improve physical and chemical properties of the green petroleum coke produced by the delayed coker unit
