D6 VIRGIN FUEL OIL
D6 VIRGIN FUEL OIL is also known as fossil fuel oil and is a high specification fuel oil. It is mostly used in power plants, large ships and generators.- Category : Petrol
Information
- D6 Virgin Fuel Oil is also known as Residual Fuel Oil and is of High–Viscosity. This particular Fuel Oil requires pre–heating to 104 ºC to 127 ºC (220 ºF – 260 ºF). The term fuel oil generally includes any liquid fuel that is burned in a furnace or boiler to generate heat, or used in an engine to generate power. However, it does not usually include other liquid oils, such as those with a flash point of approximately 42 °C (108 °F), or oils burned in cotton- or wool–wick burners. In a stricter sense, fuel oil refers only to the heaviest commercial fuels that crude oil can yield, that is, those fuels heavier than gasoline (petrol) and naphtha. Fuel oil consists of long–chain hydrocarbons, particularly alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatics. Small molecules, such as those in Propane, Naphtha, gasoline for cars, and jet fuel (kerosene), have relatively low boiling points, and are removed at the start of the fractional distillation process. Heavier petroleum products like diesel fuel and lubricating oil are much less volatile and distill out more slowly, while bunker oil is literally the bottom of the barrel. In oil distilling, the only components denser than bunker fuel are carbon black feedstock and bituminous residue (asphalt), which is used for paving roads and sealing roofs.
