Also know as petroleum cokepetcoke is produced through the refining of petroleum and contains a high proportion of carbon. It is a form of solid carbon produced by means of heat decomposition and polymerization of heavy liquid hydrocarbons derived from the refining of crude. There are many commercial varieties of petcoke with different physical and chemical characteristics being used in different industrial applications, depending on the method of industrial production used to obtain it. The most common production methods used are:

1. The delayed green coke (green delayed coking), a method of thermal rupture (“cracking”) in which the carbonization reactions involve its dehydrogenation, restructuring and polymerization. The working temperature fluctuates between 480ºC and 500ºC, and a complete production cycle takes a minimum of 16 hours.
2. Fluid coking It is a continuous process of spraying at high temperatures on a fluid surface, in which the coke particles are maintained at a pressure of between 20-40 psi and 500ºC. These feed vapors undergo thermal cracking as they settle, forming a liquid film on reheated coke particles, eventually becoming nucleating agents.

2. Fluid coking is a continuous process of pulverization at high temperatures on a fluid surface in which the coke particles are maintained at a pressure of between 20-40 psi and 500ºC. These feed vapors are subjected to heat cracking while they are being deposited, forming a liquid film on reheated coke particles, finally becoming nucleant agents. Thus, the particles grow in layers until they can finally be removed. Finally, another layer of nucleant coke particles is added to the system.

Also known as petroleum coke, petcoke is obtained from a petroleum refining process and contains a high carbon content. It is a form of solid coal produced by its thermal decomposition and polymerization of heavy liquid hydrocarbons derived from the refining of crude oil. There are several commercial varieties of petroleum coke that differ in their physical and chemical characteristics, being used in various industrial applications, depending on the industrial production method used to obtain it. The most common production methods currently used are:

1. Delayed coking (green delayed coking): method of thermal breaking (“cracking”) in which carbonization reactions involve its dehydrogenation, restructuring and polymerization. The working temperature varies between 480ºC and 500ºC, and a complete production cycle lasts at least 16 hours.
