Classification of Petroleum Products & Feedstocks

PetcokePetroleum CokePet Coke, Petcoke, Petroleum Carbon, Coke
Petroleum Coke is a carbon-rich solid material produced from the delayed coking of residual oil. It is widely used in metallurgy for aluminum smelting and steelmaking electrodes, as a raw material for lithium-ion battery anodes (needle coke), and as a solid fuel .
BitBitumen
Bitumen is a black, viscous mixture of high-molecular-weight hydrocarbons obtained as a residue from crude oil distillation. It is primarily used as a binder in road construction (asphalt concrete) and roofing materials, valued for its waterproofing and adhesive properties .
MTBEMethyl Tert-Butyl Ether
Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) is an organic compound used primarily as a gasoline additive, providing excellent anti-knock properties and increasing octane ratings. It is also used as a solvent and extractant, and can be cracked to produce isobutylene .
C3Propane
Propane is a colorless, odorless, flammable liquefied gas. It is used primarily as a feedstock for ethylene and propylene production, as well as a fuel for residential and commercial applications including heating, cooking, and transportation. It is also a major component of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) .
C4n-Butane
n-Butane is a straight-chain alkane hydrocarbon, widely used as a fuel, refrigerant, and feedstock for chemical synthesis. It can be dehydrogenated to produce butenes and butadiene, isomerized to isobutane, or catalytically oxidized to produce maleic anhydride and acetic acid .
i-C4Isobutanei-C4, IB
Isobutane is a branched-chain alkane hydrocarbon, mainly used for alkylation to produce isooctane, a high-octane gasoline component. It is also a key feedstock for methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) production and serves as a refrigerant and aerosol propellant .
LPGLiquefied Petroleum Gas
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases, primarily propane and butane, stored in liquid form under pressure. It is widely used as a heating fuel, cooking gas, and automotive fuel, as well as a feedstock for petrochemical production .
Mixed C4Mixed C4 Hydrocarbons
Mixed C4 Hydrocarbons (C4 Fraction) is a mixture of hydrocarbons containing four carbon atoms, including butadiene, isobutylene, 1-butene, and butane. It is a key feedstock for the production of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), butadiene, and other petrochemical intermediates .
