01 / Understand the requirement
Tell us the specification
you need.
Petroleum coke is traded as fuel-grade or calcined material. These serve different markets and have different specifications. For fuel-grade petcoke, sulphur content, HGI and moisture usually determine suitability and price. Tell us the grade, the limits set by your process or permit, and the destination so we can assess sourcing options.

Questions about
Petroleum Coke.
Answers to common questions about sourcing Petroleum Coke.
Does fuel-grade or calcined material need different sourcing?
Yes, generally. Fuel-grade and calcined petcoke are produced and priced differently and serve different industries. Please specify which you need.
Why do you need the sulphur content?
For most fuel-grade buyers, sulphur is the main sourcing limit. It is often set by an emissions permit and can restrict supply options more than other specifications.
What is HGI, and should I specify it?
HGI is the Hardgrove Grindability Index. It indicates how easily the coke can be ground. Include a range if your process mills the material. It may not be needed if you burn it as received.
Does my permit affect the supply options?
Yes. Share any limits in your permit or client specification. We will use them as requirements when assessing supply options.
How should I state the moisture and ash limits?
Give the limits your process or permit sets, as received or on a dry basis, and say which. Moisture affects the energy you receive per tonne and the handling, while ash and metals content can matter for kilns and boilers.
