petroleum coke dust (PKS)

English to German Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Es geht um eine umweltfreundliche Bereinigungsanlage, die verschnmutzte Luft bereinigen soll. Ich nehme an, es wird hier von Abgasen der Autos gesprochen...
Benzinkoksstaub??? Kann das stimmen? Gibt es so etwas?

Petrolkoksstaub

I'm pretty sure this is what you are looking for; I guess it's used as a fuel in power stations, or similar installations. I don't THINK it has anything to do with car exhausts, anyway...

Petrolkoks are also sometimes used as fuel for limekilns.
