FUEL OILS
Shipping — the dominant use; large ocean-going vessels run on HFO because of its low cost and high energy content
Power generation — used in large stationary boilers and diesel generators, especially in developing countries
Industrial heating — some refineries and heavy industries burn it in furnaces and boilers
FUEL OIL (ALL GRADES)
Fuel oil is a crucial energy source used in various industries for heating, power generation, and transportation. It is obtained from the distillation of crude oil and is used in many industrial applications, marine engines, and heating systems. Fuel oil is classified based on its viscosity, sulfur content, and combustion characteristics.
Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO): Thick, high-viscosity oil mainly used in ship engines, power plants, and big industrial boilers
Marine Fuel Oil (MFO): A refined form of fuel oil designed for use in ships and large vessels.
Light Fuel Oil (LFO): Used for heating homes and small commercial spaces.
D6 VIRGIN LOW POUR FUEL OIL
D6 Virgin Low Pour Fuel Oil is a heavy, high-viscosity residual fuel oil primarily used in industrial applications, marine propulsion, and power generation.
Characteristics: D6 is known for its high viscosity, requiring pre-heating before use, and is derived from the final stages of crude oil distillation.
Advantages: D6 is cost-effective, offers high energy content, and is suitable for large-scale operations, making it a strategic choice for energy consumption.
MAZUT M100 GOST 10585-2013
Mazut M100 is the most widely recognized and traded grade of Mazut, produced according to GOST specifications particularly in Russia and the CIS. The "M100" designation refers to its viscosity characteristics, indicating a highly viscous fuel oil that requires heating for handling and combustion.
Mazut M100 requires preheating to approximately 60°C–90°C to reduce viscosity for pumping and combustion. This makes it best suited for facilities equipped with heating systems, insulated storage tanks, and robust fuel-handling infrastructure.
M100 is primarily used in large industrial boilers, thermal power plants, and district heating systems.
