The Research Institute of Petroleum Industry has completed a pilot scheme to convert mazut to higher value-added products, including petroleum coke that’s used in steel production, the head of RIPI said.
“The research center has signed a contract with Bandar Abbas Oil Refinery for the mass production of coke, which will help Iran become self-sufficient in the product,” Jafar Tofiqi was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
The pilot plant of the coke production unit has been built at RIPI and it will help launch the unit in the refinery.
