Product Details
Virgin fuel oil, also known as D6 fuel oil or residual fuel oil, is a heavy, viscous fuel derived from the heaviest fractions of crude oil. It requires preheating before use due to its high viscosity and is primarily used in large-scale industrial applications like power plants and large ships. D6 is less refined than lighter fuels like diesel and is generally less expensive, but it produces higher emissions.
Key Characteristics:
• High Viscosity: D6 is a thick, viscous fuel that needs to be heated to reduce its viscosity for proper combustion.
• Heavy Fuel: It is derived from the residue left after lighter components are removed during crude oil refining.
• Large-Scale Applications: Primarily used in power plants, large ships (marine bunkers), and industrial heating systems.
• Lower Cost: Generally less expensive than lighter fuel oils like diesel.
• Higher Emissions: Produces more emissions compared to lighter fuels. Common Uses:
• Power Generation: Used in large power plants to generate electricity.
• Marine Bunkering: Used as fuel for large ships and other marine vessels.
• Industrial Heating: Employed in industrial processes requiring significant heat, such as refineries, cement manufacturing, and steel production.
• Boilers and Furnaces: Used in industrial boilers and furnaces for heat generation
