Petcoke is widely used as solid fuel in cement, glass, and other industries. This type of fuel has significant advantages compared to traditional solid fuels such as coal:
- High calorific value per weight unit (for petcoke – 7.500 kcal/kg Minimum)
- Low ash
This type of fuel can be used as mono-product or in mixes with other sources of carbon.
