Petcoke

Petcoke is the co-product of several processes used in petroleum refining to upgrade “residuum” into gasoline and middle distillate-range fuels.

Petcoke may be combusted as fuel in industrial and power generating plants. Cement plants and power plants are currently the two greatest consumers of petcoke. There is some limited use as space heating and in commercial brick kilns in Europe, and a small but emerging market as a metallurgical coal blending component for the steel industry.

Fuel grade petcoke can substitute for steam coal in power plant boilers, having the advantage of a higher heating value. Conventional coal-fired boilers can blend petcoke with steam coal, and newer boiler designs have replaced steam coal with petcoke entirely. Cement plants consume fuel-grade petcoke in rotary kilns.

Renelux supplies the industrial organizations with different types of Fuel Grade and Anode Grade petcoke, that are sourced from world renown oil refinery companies in USA, Saudi Arabia, European Union, Russia, and Caribbean Sea.
