Carbon Electrode Paste is a self-baking electrode used in submerged Arc furnaces for delivering power to the charge mix. Electrode paste is added to the top of Electrode column in either cylindrical or briquette form. As the paste moves down the column the temperature increases which causes the paste to melt and subsequently form baked block of Electrically conductive carbon. Electrode paste is essentially a mix of Electrically Calcined Anthracite (ECA) with Coal Tar Pitch.
PCCL have installed capacity of 48000 MT of CEP in close proximity of the ECA unit since ECA is the chief raw material for producing CEP.
Due to inhouse production of ECA , strong process control team and state of the art lab facilities PCCL is capable of producing tailer made recipes of CEP as per specific requirement of Ferro Alloy plants which will ensure smooth functioning of the Submerged Arc Furnace, with proper throughput and power consumption.
