Petroleum Coke Parsian Arvand

In the middle of 2020, the Petroleum Coke Parsian Arvand Company, which is under full ownership of Parsian Chemicals Industry conglomerate, was acquired all the assets and equipment of a coke calcination. Calcine petroleum coke (CPC) production plant with the engineering of FL Schmit, a Danish engineering company, built within 15-hectares land located in Arvand Free Zone, Khorramshahr city in Khuzestan province in two phases with capacities of 80,000 and 160,000 tons of input feedstock (GPC) and equivalent to 56,000 and 112,000 tons of CPC which is manufactured products. After carrying out the study process with the aim of fully launching phase one and construction of phase two, the operation operations began, and after 6 months of continuous effort, relying on the power of experts by creating a suitable space for storing raw materials and products, Changing the unit’s energy supply source (fuel oil to natural gas) with the priority of reducing environmental pollution, as well as setting up a water purification unit and carrying out numerous industrial activities around divine power, phase one of launching and a completely standard product for use in industries Aluminum and steel were produced.

This unit can create jobs for 90 people directly and 40 people indirectly in the deprived area of Khorramshahr.

Petroleum coke calcination process

Calcination is a high temperature process to improve the physical and chemical properties of crude petroleum coke (GPC). After specific granulation, petroleum coke is stored in silos and fed with controlled proportions to a rotary furnace with a length of 47 meters and a diameter of 2.7 meters. The calcination process is regulated according to the properties of green petroleum coke supplier and the required properties of calcined petroleum coke buyer. The calcination temperature for petroleum coke is 1200 to 1250 degrees Celsius.

This material flows in the opposite direction to the temperature-controlled hot gases supplied by the furnace burner. During the process, raw materials in different areas of the furnace face reactions such as dehumidification, discharge of volatile substances and improvement of the crystal structure. Operating parameters are controlled to create the required crystal structure, density and electrical conductivity. After leaving the furnace, the calcined coke is first cooled by spraying water with very low hardness, then by passing natural air along the cooler, it cools and dries on its way to the conveyors.

The product produced in this factory (CPC) is used as an anode in aluminum factories and in induction furnaces in steel factories.

Currently, the first phase of this plant has been completed. The second phase of this unit is being completed and it is expected to be put into operation by the end of 2024. Also, CPC domestic consumption in Iran is about 500 thousand tons, which is currently all supplied from other countries despite the country’s potential.

Vision: Completion and operation of phase 2 with a capacity of 112,000 tons of CPC, with completion of the supply chain of raw petroleum coke through establishing delayed-coker plant.
