Bench Scale & Pilot Scale Equipment
When changing petroleum coke and/or pitch source, it is important to adapt the anode formulation to the new raw material. Adapting by "Trial and Error" in the anode plant is cumbersome, and inadequate quality of anodes will cause severe problems in their use. Bench-scale trials are relatively quick, inexpensive and risk-free.
RDC's Bench Scale Equipment includes a mixer and a sample press, which can quickly make cylindrical test specimens of several different recipes of green anodes. The Bench Scale Anode Baking Furnace then bakes these test specimens, which can finally be tested using all relevant methods, just like samples drilled from production anodes.
Mainly for coke suppliers, R&D Carbon offers a calcining furnace for green petroleum coke. For Söderberg plants, we have developed a furnace to simulate in-situ baking of Söderberg paste.
On request, we can also supply all the auxiliary material required for bench scale trials, e.g., screens and mills to make petroleum coke dust, can also be supplied.
