  • Screening-Level Hazard Characterization of Petroleum Coke
    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency June 2011 Hazard Characterization Document SCREENING-LEVEL HAZARD CHARACTERIZATION Petroleum Coke Category SPONSORED CHEMICALS Petroleum coke, green CASRN 64741-79-3 Petroleum coke, calcined CASRN 64743-05-1 The High Production Volume (HPV) Challenge Program1was conceived as a voluntary initiative aimed at developing and making publicly available screening-level health and environmental effects information on chemicals manufactured in or imported into the United States in quantities greater than one million pounds per year. In the Challenge Program, producers and importers of HPV chemicals voluntarily sponsored chemicals; sponsorship entailed the identification and initial assessment of the adequacy of existing toxicity data/information, conducting new testing if adequate data did not exist, and making both new and existing data and information available to the public. Each complete data submission contains data on 18 internationally agreed to “SIDS” (Screening Information Data Set1,2) endpoints that are screening-level indicators of potential hazards (toxicity) for humans or the environment. The Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) is evaluating the data submitted in the HPV Challenge Program on approximately 1400 sponsored chemicals by developing hazard characterizations (HCs). These HCs consist of an evaluation of the quality and completeness of the data set provided in the Challenge Program submissions. They are not intended to be definitive statements regarding the possibility of unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. The evaluation is performed according to established EPA guidance2,3 and is based primarily on hazard data provided by sponsors; however, in preparing the hazard characterization, EPA considered its own comments and public comments on the original submission as well as the sponsor’s responses to comments and revisions made to the submission.

  • Why the Bay Area Should Say “No” to Coal and Petroleum Coke Exports
    Why the Bay Area should say “No” to Coal and Petroleum Coke Exports Big coal and oil companies are looking for ways to ship their dirty commodities abroad from U.S. ports. As Northwest communities push back against proposed export terminals in Washington and Oregon, the companies have turned to their next target: the Bay Area. If coal and petroleum coke-carrying trains come to our area, coal dust from open rail cars will threaten community health by polluting our air, land and water. Thousands of people on the West Coast are leading a grassroots movement against coal exports. It’s time to let big coal and oil know that their exports aren’t welcome in California. Where is the coal coming from? To reach Bay Area ports, coal trains from mines in the Powder River Basin (PRB) or the Utah and Colorado region travel through many communities including Sacramento, Richmond, Stockton, Pittsburg, Bakersfield, Fresno, Merced and Modesto. And these trains are already on the move.1 Where is petcoke coming from, and what is it? • Petroleum coke, or petcoke, is a solid carbon byproduct that results from oil refining processes. When petcoke is burnt, it emits 5 to 10 percent more carbon dioxide 2) per (C0 unit of energy than coal. On average, one ton of petcoke yields 53.6 percent more CO2 than a ton of coal.2 Petcoke also emits toxic residues, from heavy metals to sulfur. • Petcoke is so dirty that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency bans it from being burned in our country. Yet, the EPA still allows it to be exported abroad, pushing the pollution offshore.

  • Tutorial: Delayed Coking Fundamentals
    Tutorial: Delayed Coking Fundamentals Paul J. Ellis Christopher A. Paul Great Lakes Carbon Corporation Port Arthur, TX Prepared for presentation at the AIChE 1998 Spring National Meeting New Orleans, LA March 8-12, 1998 Topical Conference on Refinery Processing Tutorial Session: Delayed Coking Paper 29a Copyright 1998 Great Lakes Carbon Corporation UNPUBLISHED March 9, 1998 1 ABSTRACT Great Lakes Carbon Corporation has worked closely with refineries producing delayed coke in all forms, fuel grade (shot or sponge), anode grade (sponge), and electrode grade (needle) since start-up of the company's first calcining operation in 1937. With on-going research in the area of delayed coking since 1942, Great Lakes Carbon (GLC) has operated delayed coking pilot units including an excellent large-scale pilot unit with a coke drum 0.3 meter (1 ft) diameter by 2.1 meters (7 ft) long and has developed physical models which explain coke formation in coke drums. Knowledge of commercial delayed coking units as well as that of the GLC Pilot Delayed Coker is used in this tutorial paper to describe the formation and uses of the three types of structures of delayed petroleum coke: needle, sponge, and shot. Troubleshooting tips are included on many aspects of the delayed coking drum cycle including: steam stripping, water quenching, coke cutting, drum warm-up, and drum switching technique. Suggestions and descriptions of delayed coking unit hardware are included. The objective of this tutorial paper is to acquaint the non-refinery technologist and further the knowledge of refinery personnel with the delayed coking operation, delayed coking unit hardware, types of coke that can be produced, coke formation models, and the uses of petroleum coke.

  • Delayed Coking of South African Petroleum Heavy Residues for the Production of Anode Grade Coke and Automotive Fuels
    DELAYED COKING OF SOUTH AFRICAN PETROLEUM HEAVY RESIDUES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ANODE GRADE COKE AND AUTOMOTIVE FUELS John Graham Clark A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering Johannesburg, 2008 2 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own unaided work. It is being submitted to the Degree of Master of Science in Engineering to the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination to any other University ……………………………………………… (Signature of Candidate) ………………. day of …………………… year…………… (day) (month) (year) 3 ABSTRACT A laboratory scale delayed coking process was used to produce petrol precursors, diesel precursors, methane rich gas, green and calcined coke from five previously untested South African heavy petroleum residues. The ash content of the heavy petroleum residues was found to be detrimental to the microstructure of the green coke and Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) of the calcined coke. The sulphur content of the calcined cokes produced was found to be in-line with typical global anode grade cokes. De-ashing of the feedstock would be necessary to produce anode grade fillers for the aluminium industry. The local production of anode grade coke would serve to reduce imports and supply the aluminium smelters on the east coast of South Africa. The heavy petroleum residues (also known as heavy fuel oil) are currently used as bunker fuel in the shipping industry and are responsible for substantial air pollution. Delayed coking of these residues could extend the production of petrol and diesel per barrel of imported crude oil and reduce the effect on South Africa’s balance of payments deficit and impact the environment in a beneficial manner with respect to carbon dioxide and sulphur emissions.

  • Thermogravimetric Study of Coal and Petroleum Coke for Co-Gasification
    Korean J. Chem. Eng., 24(3), 512-517 (2007) SHORT COMMUNICATION Thermogravimetric study of coal and petroleum coke for co-gasification Sang Jun Yoon, Young-Chan Choi, See-Hoon Lee and Jae-Goo Lee† Department of Energy Conversion, Korea Institute of Energy Research, 71-2 Jang-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon 305-343, Korea (Received 28 August 2006 • accepted 11 November 2006) Abstract−As a preliminary study of gasification of coal and petroleum coke mixtures, thermogravimetric analyses were performed at various temperatures (1,100, 1,200, 1,300, and 1,400 oC) and the isothermal kinetics were analyzed and compared. The activation energies of coal, petroleum coke and coal/petroleum coke mixture were calculated by using both a shrinking core model and a modified volumetric model. The results showed that the activation energies for the anthracite and petroleum coke used in this study were 9.56 and 11.92 kcal/mol and reaction times were 15.8 and 27.0 min. In the case of mixed fuel, however, the activation energy (6.97 kcal/mol) and reaction time (17.0 min) were lower than the average value of the individual fuels, confirming that a synergistic effect was observed in the co- processing of coal and petroleum coke.

  • Petroleum Residue Upgrading Via Delayed Coking: a Review
    Petroleum Residue Upgrading Via Delayed Coking: A Review Ashish N. Sawarkar, Aniruddha B. Pandit, Shriniwas D. Samant and Jyeshtharaj B. Joshi* Institute of Chemical Technology, University of Mumbai, N. P. Marg, Matunga, Mumbai, Maharashtra, 400019, India World petroleum residue processing capacity has reached about 725 million metric tons per annum (MMTPA). The high demand for transportation fuels and the ever-rising heavy nature of crude oil have resulted in a renewed interest in the bottom-of-the-barrel processing using various conver- sion processes. Delayed coking, known for processing virtually any refi nery stream (which not only poses a serious threat to environment, but also involves a disposal cost) has garnered tremendous importance in the current refi ning scenario. Needle coke obtained from delayed coking process is a highly sought-after product, which is used in electric arc furnaces (in the form of graphite electrodes) in steel making applications. In the present communication, the published literature has been extensively analyzed and a state-of-the-art review has been written that includes: (1) importance and place of delayed coking as a residue upgrading process in the current refi ning scenario; (2) coking mechanism and kinetics; (3) design aspects; (4) feedstocks suitable for the production of needle coke; (5) characteristics of needle coke; (6) factors affecting needle coke quality and quantity; and (7) future market for needle coke. An attempt has been made to get the above-mentioned aspects together in a coherent theme so that the information is available at a glance and could be of signifi cant use for researchers and practising refi ners.
