Petroleum Coke

Petroleum coke is a solid, hard, black residue of almost-pure carbon that remains after heavy oil fractions are cracked to produce lighter hydrocarbons. Husky’s Lima refinery produces approximately 700 tons of anode grade petroleum coke per day, the equivalent of 250,000 tons annually. Anode grade petroleum coke is calcined (a thermal process) to remove the volatile fraction to make carbon blocks, and then is used as a anode in the production of aluminum. Coke is transported by truck and railcar to markets.
