The petroleum coke rotary kiln is a specialized thermal processing unit designed for the calcination and heat treatment of raw petroleum coke. The process begins with green coke being fed into the refractory-lined, slightly inclined rotary kiln, which rotates slowly to ensure uniform heat exposure and thorough mixing of the coke particles as they move from the feed end to the discharge end. Advanced sealing systems at both ends minimize heat loss and prevent air infiltration, enhancing thermal efficiency and product quality.
The petroleum coke rotary kiln also includes a fully automated feeding system, efficient combustion chambers, and dust collection units to maintain a clean and controlled production environment. Inside the kiln, temperatures typically range from 1200°C to 1315°C (2200°F to 2400°F), which is sufficient to drive off volatile hydrocarbons and moisture without combusting the carbon itself. Customizable in size and capacity, this kiln is ideal for large-scale industrial applications that demand reliable performance, energy efficiency, and precise process control.
