[News & Trends]:The production method and production process of petroleum coke, and what are the commonly used raw materials

The manufacturing method of petroleum coke

1. Overview

Petroleum coke is an important raw material for chemical production, widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry, power and other fields. It is made from petroleum as raw material through processes such as high-temperature cracking and carbonization, and has advantages such as high calorific value, low sulfur, and low ash content. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the manufacturing methods of petroleum coke, including the selection of raw materials, production processes, equipment selection, and other aspects

2、 Raw material selection: The main raw material for manufacturing petroleum coke is petroleum residue, which has a high content of asphaltene and resin, and has high adhesion and coking properties. In order to ensure the quality and production of petroleum coke, it is necessary to select suitable raw materials and implement strict quality control

3、 The production process of petroleum coke mainly includes the following steps:

1 Raw material pretreatment: Dehydration and desalination of petroleum residue are carried out to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent processes

2. High temperature cracking: Heat the pre treated raw materials to high temperature to undergo cracking reactions, generating oil, gas, and coke

3. Coke cooling: The generated coke is cooled to reduce its temperature and moisture content, making it easier for subsequent processing and storage

4. Screening and packaging: The cooled coke is screened, classified according to different particle sizes, and packaged

4、 Equipment selection: In the production process of petroleum coke, equipment such as heating furnace, cracking furnace, cooler, screening machine, etc. need to be used. In order to ensure smooth production and stable product quality, it is necessary to select appropriate equipment and regularly maintain and upkeep it

5、 Production precautions: In the production process of petroleum coke, the following precautions need to be taken:

1 Strictly control the quality and proportion of raw materials to ensure stable product quality

2. Strengthen the control of temperature, pressure and other parameters during the production process to prevent safety accidents

3. Regularly inspect and maintain equipment to ensure its normal operation

4. Strengthen production site management and maintain a clean and hygienic environment

6、 To ensure the quality of petroleum coke products, strict quality control is required, including the following aspects: Carbon content of coke: The higher the carbon content of petroleum coke, the higher its calorific value. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control the carbon content within the specified range

2. Ash and sulfur content: Ash and sulfur content are important indicators for evaluating the quality of petroleum coke and need to be controlled within the specified range to ensure the safety and economy of subsequent processing and use

3. Particle size and strength: Petroleum coke with different particle sizes and strengths is suitable for different application fields, so it is necessary to screen and classify according to customer needs

7、 With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness and the deepening of sustainable development strategies, the production of petroleum coke also needs to consider environmental protection and sustainable development issues. In the production process, it is necessary to strengthen the treatment and recycling of pollutants such as exhaust gas and wastewater, reduce energy consumption and resource consumption, and improve production efficiency and economic benefits. At the same time, it is also necessary to actively explore new production processes and technologies to promote the upgrading and development of the petroleum coke industry

In summary, the manufacturing method of petroleum coke involves multiple aspects and precautions, which require strict operation and management in accordance with the production process and equipment selection requirements to ensure product quality and production safety. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen awareness of environmental protection and sustainable development, and promote the healthy development of the petroleum coke industry.
