Product Description
Fuel oil is a fraction obtained from petroleum distillation, either as a distillate or a residue. It is known for its high energy content and is a critical energy source for various industrial and commercial applications. It comes in various types like heavy fuel oil (HFO), marine gas oil (MGO), intermediate fuel oil (IFO), light fuel oil (LFO), residual fuel oil, and distillate fuel oil.
Its chemical and physical properties include density (0.85 to 1.00 g/cm³), boiling point (175 to 600°C), flash point (60 to 93°C for lighter oils, over 120°C for heavier oils), and sulfur content (between 0.5% and 3.5%). The manufacturing process of fuel oil involves multiple steps like distillation, cracking, blending, desulfurization, and hydroprocessing.
It is used in power generation, marine transportation, industrial boilers, residential heating, backup generators, asphalt production, chemical manufacturing, agricultural dryers, mining operations, and railway locomotives.
