Where Innovation & Satisfaction Meet

Supplying carbon materials to the global primary aluminum and steel industries

Green petroleum coke is generated by delayed coking during the conversion of crude oil into liquid fuels such as gasoline and jet fuels. Green coke quality is derived mainly from the quality of crude oil that a refinery consumes.

Calcined petroleum coke is a high purity carbon material produced by heating green petroleum coke to drive off moisture, volatile matter, and impurities and to increase its electrical conductivity. The primary aluminum industry is the major consumer of calcined petroleum coke, representing approximately 80% of the demand for this carbon material. The balance of calcined coke demand originates from the steel and chemical industries, mostly as recarburizer and the manufacture of titanium dioxide pigment.

Coal tar pitch distilled from by-product coal tar, generated by metallurgical coke ovens, has strategic importance for the aluminum industry. The combination of its binding properties with its high carbon content makes pitch an ideal complement to calcined petroleum coke for the production of carbon anode.

Carbon anodes are crucial in aluminum production, conducting electricity to facilitate aluminum extraction from its ore. Made from calcined petroleum coke and coal tar pitch, they are consumed by the aluminum industry during the conversion of alumina into primary aluminum.

A carbon anode is a precision engineered product where variability of quality can have a significant impact on primary smelter’s operations and therefore the cost of producing aluminum. Aminco, with its technical partner R&D Carbon, are focused on producing and delivering world class anodes that outperform the competition and therefore reduce our customer’s smelting costs. References are important and we are therefore proud to say that we have shipped nearly 4 million tons of anodes to smelters around the world.
