Pet Coke Production Cost Reports

Pet Coke production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Pet Coke production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Pet Coke. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Pet Coke is the carbonaceous co-product obtained from carbon from cracking units like the FCC and coker unit. It is formed after bitumen (found in tar sands from Alberta, Canada) is refined to crude oil. It is a carbon-rich solid material found in two main grades called Calcinable or Green Pet coke and Fuel Grade Pet coke.

Petroleum coke has a solid form and is similar to coal. It is less expensive compared to crude oil, which is used in its production. It is high in heat value and has a high carbon content with great chemical stability. It can be fairly soft or hard. It looks similar to large sponges that have many pores or resembles tiny spheres in a size range from grain to sand to a large marble. It has a chemical composition of various elements and metals in many concentrations.

Pet coke is mainly employed as a solid fuel replacement for coal in boilers and furnaces. In industrial processes, it is used as a standard source of energy or carbon. In addition, it is used as a key feedstock in cement production for making clinker. High-grade pet coke with the presence of low sulphur content and heavy metals is used for making electrodes and anodes that find application in steel and aluminium industries. Whilst, High sulphur-containing pet coke works as a fuel furthering the market expansion. As a fuel, it is employed in the metal and brick industries, which in turn furthers the market growth.
