Calcined petroleum coke (CPC)
Calcined Petroleum Coke: A Versatile Carbon Material from Khorshid Alyazh
Calcined petroleum coke (CPC) is a high-value carbon material derived from petroleum coke, a byproduct of oil refining. Unlike graphitized petroleum coke, which undergoes a graphitization process, CPC is produced through a controlled heat treatment process known as calcination. This process alters the structure and properties of petroleum coke, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
Production of Calcined Petroleum Coke at Khorshid Alyazh
Khorshid Alyazh, a leading manufacturer of carbon products in Iran, has established a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to the production of high-quality CPC. The company utilizes a rigorous process that ensures consistent and reliable performance of its CPC products.
The production process involves the following key steps:
- Selection of Petroleum Coke: Khorshid Alyazh carefully selects high-grade petroleum coke as the starting material, ensuring optimal properties for calcination.
- Calcination: The selected petroleum coke is subjected to controlled heating in a furnace under an inert atmosphere. The temperature and duration of calcination are carefully controlled to achieve the desired properties.
- Quality Control: Throughout the production process, Khorshid Alyazh employs stringent quality control measures to ensure the consistent performance of its CPC products.
Properties and Applications of CPC
Khorshid Alyazh’s CPC possesses exceptional properties that make it suitable for various industrial applications, including:
