Fuel grade petroleum coke is primarily used as an industrial fuel due to its high calorific value.
Typical applications include:
- Cement kilns
- Lime production
- Power generation
- Industrial boilers
- Gasification units
- Metallurgical processes requiring solid fuel
Its high carbon content and low ash make it an efficient substitute for coal in energy-intensive industries.
