Calcined petroleum coke is a high purity carbon material produced by heating green petroleum coke to drive off moisture, volatile matter, and impurities and to increase its electrical conductivity.​The aluminum industry is the biggest consumer of calcined petroleum coke, with 80% of the demand for this carbon material.​The balance of 20% of calcined coke demand originates from the steel and chemical industries, mostly as recarburizer and the manufacture of titanium dioxide pigment.

 

Pulverized Coal Injection (PCI)Pulverized Coal Injection (PCI) is a process that involves blowing large volumes of fine coal granules into the BF. This provides a supplemental carbon source to speed up the production of metallic iron, reducing the need for coke production. As a result energy use and emissions can be reduced.​Coal originates from Kazakhstan. Thanks to our close ties with the main Anthracite Producers, we are able to provide seamless solutions for supplying and accessing coal products.
