Petroleum coke is a derivative of the refining procedure of crude oil. It is a solid material used for numerous commercial and industrial purposes, for example fuel in cement kilns and power plants. This can differ in appearance from black, to grey, to golden brown, contingent on its configuration and the refining procedure employed to produce it. 

Petroleum coke is a result of last thermal cracking process base Coker unit that split long hydrocarbon-chain of petroleum residues into shorter chains. It is also produced in the synthetic crude oil production from bitumen mined from Venezuela’s Orinoco oil sands and Canada’s oil sands.

In pet coker units, residual oils from other distillation procedures employed in in refining of petroleum are preserved at a high pressure and temperature leaving the petroleum coke as a derivative.

Petcoke prices can differ contingent on factors for example the type of pet coke, the location and the conditions of the market. The amounts are also influenced by demand and supply, along with taxes and transportation costs.

Petcoke is a mix of a number of impurities and hydrocarbons, so there is no exact chemical formula for petcoke. It is chiefly made of hydrogen and carbon, but also comprises small quantities of nitrogen, sulfur and further elements. The chemical configuration of petcoke can differ contingent on the crude oil type and the refining procedure used for the production of the same.

The chemical formula for petcoke is CxHy, where x is the count of carbon atoms and y is hydrogen atom count in the molecule.

With regards to energy content, petcoke has an advanced value of heating than coal. There is a higher sulfur content in Petcoke than coal, a concern for air pollution, and thus degrading the quality of air. Though, petcoke can also be employed as a carbon source for industrial procedures, for example the aluminum and other metal production.

There is a number of uses of petcoke all over the world, and especially in the Asia Pacific regions, this is the main reason for the increasing demand for petcoke all over the world.
