Virgin Fuel Oil D6 is a high-quality, refined fuel oil commonly used in industrial and power generation applications. Known for its excellent combustion efficiency and energy output, it provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for large-scale heating and energy production systems.
D6 is a type of residual fuel, mainly used in power plants and larger ships. The fuel requires to be preheated before it can be used. It is not possible to use it in smaller engines or vessels/vehicles where it is not possible to pre-heat it. D6 is its name in the USA. In other parts of the world, it has other names.
Residual means the material remaining after the more valuable cuts of crude oil have boiled off. The residue may contain various undesirable impurities including 2% water and one- half percent mineral soil. D6 fuel is also known as residual fuel oil (RFO), by the Navy specification of Bunker C, or by the Pacific Specification of PS-400.
Fuel Oil is a fraction obtained from petroleum distillation either as a distillate or a residue Broadly speaking oil is any liquid petroleum product which is burned in a furnace or boiler for the generation of heat or used in an engine for the generation of power except oils having a flash point of approximately 40 C 104 F Oil is made of long hydrocarbon chains particularly alkanes cycloalkanes and aromatics The term Fuel Oil is also used in a stricter sense to refer only to the heaviest commercial fuel that can be obtained from crude oil heavier than gasoline and naphtha
Fuel oils are used as fuel for power generation marine bunkers and large industrial heating plants Fuel oil 180 CST also known as Bunker Fuel or Residual Fuel Oil is characterized by its viscosity which is measured in centistokes CST The number 180 indicates the maximum viscosity of the oil at 50 degrees Celsius This specification makes it a relatively thick and viscous fuel compared to lighter fuel oils Both CST 180 and CST 380 fuel oils are considered heavy fuel oils and are commonly used in the shipping industry They are often referred to as bunker fuels and are used in vessels like cargo ships container ships and oil tankers
Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) is a residual fuel incurred during the distillation of crude oil. It is primarily used to generate motion and/or heat that have a particularly high viscosity and density. Mainly used in industrial boilers and other direct source heating applications. It is also used as a principal fuel in marine applications and large diesel engines. Generally HFO typically includes bitumen, asphaltenes and long chain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Virgin Oil D6, also known as residual fuel oil, is a petroleum product that is obtained from the refining process. It has a high density and a high viscosity, making it a suitable heavy fuel oil used in large marine engines and power plants that require high levels of energy. Virgin Oil D6 is produced from the residue left over after the lighter hydrocarbons, such as gasoline and diesel fuel, are removed from crude oil. It is a heavy, black viscous liquid that is resistant to flow. The product has a high sulfur content, typically between 2.5% and 4%, and a calorific value of approximately 38 MJ/kg.
Fuel oil CST (CST stands for Centistokes) 180, 280, and 300 are grades of heavy fuel oils used primarily in industrial applications such as marine vessels and power generation. CST 180 has a lower viscosity, making it suitable for engines with higher
operating temperatures. CST 280 and 300 are heavier grades with higher viscosities, often used in applications requiring more power output and in equipment with larger combustion chambers. These fuel oils are derived from crude oil refining processes
and are valued for their energy density and affordability, making them crucial in
various sectors reliant on reliable and cost-effective energy sources.
