MRPL (Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd) has completed the first coastal dispatch of 6,200 tonnes of petroleum coke (petcoke). The dispatch was made through the barge, ‘Suryamukhi’, from New Mangalore Port on Saturday.
A press release by the company said here on Saturday that this petcoke parcel has been sold to Ramco Cements Ltd (formerly Madras Cements Ltd) in Tamil Nadu.
MRPL produces special grade ash-less petcoke for cement kilns. Petcoke is an end product from its delayed coker unit (DCU).
Commissioned in April, the DCU converts low-value short residue into high-value products such as gasoil, naphtha, LPG etc, thereby increasing the distillate yield, it said.
