RCI’s calcination roots date back to 1959, when Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation (KACC) constructed a calciner in the state of Mississippi, USA, to convert petroleum coke — a solid carbon by-product of the oil refining industry — into an essential raw material for the production of aluminum anodes. KACC built three more U.S. Gulf Coast calciners, and in 1988, these operations became the independently owned CII Carbon LLC (CII). CII subsequently grew through the acquisition of three additional U.S. calcining plants, including two from a Conoco joint-venture company.
Meanwhile, in 1998, Rain Calcining Limited (RCL), an independent start-up based in India, constructed Asia’s largest calcination facility in the port city of Visakhapatnam (Vizag), India. In 2005, RCL doubled its capacity through the expansion of the Vizag facility.
In mid-2007, RCL acquired CII, and the companies changed their national corporate names to Rain CII Carbon (Vizag) Limited (RCCVL) in India and Rain CII Carbon LLC (RCC) in the United States. The unified “Rain CII” brand quickly became well known as one of the world’s largest producers of calcined petroleum coke (CPC).
