Service
Industrial market support.
Long-term offtake programs for cement, power generation, steel, and adjacent industrial consumers — written to a defined contract, cadence, and quality spec.
What this is
Programs for the plants that actually burn the coke.
The end users we work with are industrial operators with continuous demand: cement kilns thermal-substituting petroleum coke for traditional fuels, power generators running coal-petcoke blends in circulating fluidized-bed boilers, steel and aluminum producers consuming anode-grade material in calciners and smelter feeds, and lime kilns running on fuel-grade petcoke as a cost-effective process heat source.
Each of these sectors has a different quality spec, a different cadence, and a different commercial structure. Industrial market support is the layer that translates marketing-side supply into plant-side reliability.
Sectors we serve
Six end-user categories, each on its own spec.
Cement
Fuel-grade petcoke for kiln thermal substitution. Sulfur and volatile-matter spec set against the receiving plant's scrubber capacity and clinker quality requirements.
Power generation
High-BTU petroleum coke for circulating fluidized-bed boilers and coal-petcoke blend programs. Reliable cadence for base-load and industrial cogeneration operators.
Steel & metals
Anode-grade and fuel-grade material for smelter feed and calciner programs across steel, aluminum, and other metals. Tightest quality discipline of any category.
Lime & industrial manufacturing
Fuel-grade material for rotary lime kiln operations and adjacent industrial-calcining process heat applications.
Commodity trading
Physical petcoke positions for commodity traders and merchants — FOB Houston, CFR delivered, vessel charter, and bill-of-lading support. Cargo-by-cargo, against an index or a fixed-price formula.
Marine & bulk logistics
Vessel-program support for international dry-bulk movers whose own portfolio touches petcoke — stevedoring liaison, port-routing guidance, and draft-restricted port handling.
Contract structures we work with
Long-term offtake, with the flex bands written in.
- Multi-year offtake contracts. Minimum annual tonnage, plus flex bands for seasonal demand and planned outages. Pricing indexed to a published petcoke benchmark or a formula tied to a refining or freight basket.
- Quality-spec compliance. Sulfur, vanadium, hardgrove grindability index, fixed-carbon, ash, and moisture all tracked per cargo. Out-of-spec parcels trigger contractual remedies — rejection, price adjustment, or blending corrective action — before the cargo reaches the customer.
- Delivered or FOB. Customer chooses. Delivered programs include freight, terminal, and stockpile management under one line item. FOB programs hand off at the load terminal; the customer holds the inland-or-ocean piece directly.
- Documentation and audit. Full document set per cargo, packaged for procurement and accounts payable. Annual reconciliations available against the contract terms.
