Calcined Petrolium Coke_CPC

Description

Petroleum coke is a final carbon-rich solid material that derives from oil refining process, and is one type of the group of fuels referred to as cokes. Petcoke is the coke that, in particular, derives from a final cracking process. Generally the thermo-based chemical engineering process that splits long chain hydrocarbons of petroleum into shorter chains—that takes place in units termed coker units. Stated succinctly, coke is the "carbonization product of high-boiling hydrocarbon fractions obtained in petroleum processing (heavy residues). Petcoke is also produced in the production of synthetic crude oil from Bitumen extracted from Canada’s oil sands and from Venezuela's Orinoco oil sands. In petroleum coker units, residual oils from other distillation processes used in petroleum refining are treated at a high temperature and pressure leaving the petcoke after driving off gases and volatiles, and separating off remaining light and heavy oils. These processes are termed "coking processes", and most typically employ chemical engineering plant operations for the specific process of delayed coking.
