Manufacturer & Exporter of Petcoke Fired Aluminum Melting Furnace.

We offer highly efficient Petcoke fired aluminium melting furnace to save the running cost of the fuel from 20-60 % less comparison with Oil (HSD LDO FO) Gas (LPG NG ) and Electric type furnace. The Pet coke can also be used in the melting of Non Ferrous metal like Zinc Brass Copper Lead etc. 

These type of furnace are available in different capacity of the crucible with following features :-

- Capacity Range of the furnace from 50 Kgs. To 500 Kgs./Batch

- Quick Start High Efficiency

- Unique Fuel feeding system to prevent back firing

- Compact & user Friendly

- Very Low Running Cost

The Petroleum Coke also known as Petcoke has several remarkable features from the usage point of view that are:

• Petcoke can be a good replacement of coal/lignite.
• It can be used in blend form along with coal/lignite or 100% in AFBC/CFBC boilers.
• Ash content in Petcoke is much lower than coal/lignite. Hence particulate emissions are always lower as compared to coal.

All About Pet Coke 

What is Petcoke ?

Cocking is a thermal cracking process characterized by long residence time and the production of petroleum coke (Petcoke) a heavy carbon residue. Petcoke is produced by thermal cracking of vacuum residue that is produced from crude oil.

In a petroleum refinery atmospheric and vacuum distillation processes remove from the crude the oil the components that boil up to about 500oC. The distillation process separates the lighter part of the crude oil into fractions which are then processed into useful refined products such as LPG petrol kerosene diesel etc. The part of the crude oil which does not boil off during the distillation process even under vacuum is known as the vacuum reside. The vacuum residue consists of heavy viscous complex hydrocarbon molecules.

The coking process converts the vacuum residue into gas liquid and solid products. In delayed coking the heavy feedstock is heated in a tube still and pumped as rapidly as possible to insulated drums where it the large molecules are cracked into smaller molecules and residue producing gas liquid products and coke. The term 'delayed' comes from the delay between heating and coking. As coke buiilds up in the drum the lighter products of cracking are recovered as overhead vapours and are taken to a fractionator for separation into various products.

Petcoke yield is mainly dependent on the carbon content of the feedstock while the structural quality of the Petcoke is influenced chiefly by the type of feed i.e. virgin crude or cracked products. Fuel grade Petcoke is produced from vacuum residues that have high sulfur contents. High sulphur Petcoke is used as fuel whereas low sulphur Petocoke is used in producing anodes.

Fuel grade Petcoke generally replaces iignite and coal.

How does Petcoke compare with Coal ?

Coal is also a natural fossil fuel. Domestic coal is mainly in Central and Eastern India and in the North East. The ash content in domestic coal is very high- it can go up to even 45%. Coal is also imported into India mainly from Indonesia and South Africa. The ash content in imported coal is generally about 2 -15%.

One of the main problems with the use of solid fuels is the emission of suspended particulate matter (SPM) into the atmosphere along with the flue gasses. Against an ash content of about 15% in imported coal and about 35-45% in domestic coal the ash content in Petcoke is less than 1% - typically about 0.6-0.7%.
