Petroleum Coke Manufacturing & Delayed Coker

Usage, Application and Environmental Issues

Course Overview

Petroleum coke, also known as pet coke, is a byproduct of the oil refining process, derived from both light and heavy crude oils. In addition to common products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, petroleum coke is another valuable product extracted from crude oil. First produced in the 1930s, pet coke has become a key commercial product used in a variety of industries, including aluminum manufacturing, fuels, steel, glass, paint, and fertilizers. It is also widely utilized as a fuel in power generation, cement production, and various other industrial applications.

This Energy training course on Petroleum Coke Manufacturing will cover the entire process of petroleum coke production, from storage and handling to its applications, along with its environmental and health impacts.
