Fuel Oil is a petroleum-derived liquid fuel obtained from crude oil refining, either as a distillate, a residual fraction, or a blend of both. It is widely used to generate heat in industrial boilers, furnaces, kilns and process heaters. Suitable grades are also used in marine engines and stationary power-generation systems designed for these fuels.
Fuel Oil is particularly suitable for operations where stable combustion, consistent heat generation and cost-effective fuel consumption are important. Its high energy content, controlled viscosity and reliable combustion characteristics make it suitable for a broad range of heating and process applications.
