www.petcokefuel.com Advantages of PetCoke Systems Raw Petroleum Coke is a carbon based waste by-product of the oil refining industry. PetCoke costs are historically lower and more steady than FO. PetCoke is increasing in world supply. Petcoke is a proven and excellent fuel for pulp and paper lime kilns. PetCoke has a hotter more emissive flame (like FO) that has the effect of lengthening your kiln over Biogas or Producer Gas.

www.petcokefuel.com Petcoke Cost vs. FO Cost
• Since PetCoke is a waste/by-
product of a finished fuel/gasoline – it will ALWAYS be less expensive than Fuel Oil. • In India it is typically 1/3rd the price of FO • PetCoke pricing is more stable and predicable – not as volatile as FO and NG. • Historically PetCoke has been in the range of 25% - 75% the cost of FO. • An important consideration is your proximity to the fuel supply and transportation costs to deliver it to the mill. • PetCoke is not only less expensive, but it is also similar or equal in quality to FO as far as performance in the lime kiln is concerned…IF YOU HAVE A PROVEN RELIABLE SYSTEM TO FEED AND BURN IT!
• Petcoke also contains trace amounts of Vanadium –
Typically 325 – 2300 ppm. • Nickel – Typically 300 ppm. • Mercury – Less than 1 ppb. • Since approx. 87% Fixed Carbon – Heating Value is HIGH and CONSISTENT (8400 – 8600 kcal/kg)

www.petcokefuel.com Petcoke Fuel Specification (for Indirect Fire Rotary Lime Kiln) • Direct Fire Systems – typically cement kilns • Indirect Fired Systems – typically rotary lime kilns • Petcoke shall be pulverized to 90% passing 200 mesh or finer. (75 micron). • Ash content shall be less than 1%. (Typically 0.5% - dry basis) • Moisture shall be less than 1%. (Typically 0.5%) • Heating Value shall be between 8300 – 8600 kcal/kg. (Will be CONSISTENT variance is among refineries.) • Sulfur content will vary among refineries. (Typically between 4%-7% - dry basis)
• Petcoke can be delivered in raw form and pulverized on
site. • Petcoke can be pre-pulverized off-site delivered in 1 tonne bulk bags. • Pre-pulverized Petcoke may also be delivered in 22 tonne pneumatic truck trailers.

www.petcokefuel.com Petcoke Compared Fuel Oil
• Fuel Oil Heating Value: 9990 kcal/kg
• FO Ignition Temperature: 260 C • FO is a liquid fuel more difficult to burn than a gas but easier than a solid fuel. FO can be burned by itself in the lime kiln. • FO has a low Ash Content 0.2%. • FO has low Hydrogen content which prevents moisture in the combustion reaction. • FO has a sulfur content around (3% - 4.5%). 100% FO Flame
• Petcoke Ignition Temperature: 400 C • Petcoke is a great fuel that is more difficult to burn. It must be burned alongside a gas or a liquid fuel. The kiln must be good and hot before it is introduced. • Petcoke has a very low Ash Content at generally less than 0.5%. • Petcoke also has a very low Hydrogen content which also yields a dry, hot, more efficient flame. • Petcoke has a higher sulfur content (4% - 7%). FO/PetCoke Co-fire Flame We put the Energy in…So you get the Energy out! www.petcokefuel.com Petcoke Conversion Project THREE KEYS to SUCCESS! • PetCoke is currently available in India….both Domestic and Imported. • Find a supplier that can deliver petcoke to your mill in pulverized powder form per our provided fuel PETCOKE specification. FUEL • Select an experienced petcoke fuel feed system provider in pulp and paper sector with instantaneous SUPPLY and precise control with accurate measurement over this historically difficult powder. – Raw coke is much easier to handle and feed than powdered coke (direct fire). – This is a fuel system. Not just a convey system. Instantaneous, second by second control is imperative. Lime quality and production will be adversely affected by fuel feed inconsistencies. (indirect fire) • Select a burner provider with petcoke experience in Lime Recovery Kilns. PETCOKE – PETCOKE Petcoke is the Great Fuel that is Difficult to Burn. READY – Having a high quality consistent feed system with an FUEL FEED experienced burner will maximize your FO substitution MULTI-FUEL level and your money savings. SYSTEM • If possible combine the Petcoke Feed System and BURNER Burner into one contract.
