Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) is obtained by calcining Raw Petroleum Coke (RPC) at temperatures as high as 1400 degrees centigrade. RPC is a by-product of the oil refining process and is derived from the distillation of petroleum crude in delayed cokers.
CPC is used in the Aluminium, Graphite Electrode, Steel, Titanium Dioxide and other carbon consuming industries. Calcined Petroleum Coke is also known as Recarburiser / Ladle additive / Carbon raiser.
Raw Petroleum Coke is fed into a rotary kiln. During its movement down the kiln all moisture and volatile matter present in the RPC are extracted. The burning of hydrocarbons present in the RPC provides the heat required for calcination. The product received at the end of the process is a highly electrically conductive carbon called Calcined Petroleum Coke.

Suggested Application
-High Carbon pick up of 95% ideal for production of C.I. & steel casting.
-Can be added to furnace at any time.
-Consistency in chemical & physical parameters.
-Less slag formation & over operating cost due to low ash content.
-Can be used as recarbonizer in electrical arc furnace, induction furnace in steel and foundry.
-Faster carbon pick-up resulting in lesser material consumption, better productivity and less power consumption.
