ResumoDuring the past 25 years United States petroleum coke production has increased from less than 1,000,000 tons per year to 3,400,000. Most of the 1,000,000 tons were produced in externally fired shell stills and manually removed from the stills. Almost all of the 3,400,000 tons were produced in large "delayed coker" type coke drums and removed mechanically. As was true 25 years ago, the major use for petroleum coke is as a fuel, although the proportion so used is declining. Its use in aluminum production is growing rapidly and currently takes about 18% of the production.
