Headquartered in Huntington Beach, California, BP Coke
is a global supplier of calcined coke to the aluminum industry,
and fuel grade coke to the fuel, cement, steel, calciner, and specialty
chemicals businesses.
A refiner must carefully balance crude characteristics against refining unit capacities and product slates.
If the facility produces anode-grade carbon, other impacts must be considered. Consistent quality coke begins with
consistent quality crudes; Crude blends are introduced at the "front end" of the refining process to control eventual carbon
quality results in much more consistent finished carbon product to the end user/smelter as opposed to trying to blend solids
(green and/or calcined) to spec. "after the fact".
BP produces calcined petroleum coke in four locations: Wilmington CA and Cherry Point WA
in the United States and Gelsenkirchen and Lingen in Germany. The calciner facilities are fully
integrated with respect to crude supply and refining operations. This
integration provides BP unparalleled control of the quality and consistency
of the calcined coke it produces.
BP’s coke lab located
in Huntington Beach CA, offers the full spectrum of coke analyses and technical
support to customers of its carbon products.
