Fuel oil, also called furnace oil, fuel consisting mainly of residues from crude-oil distillation. It is used primarily for steam boilers in power plants, aboard ships, and in industrial plants. Commercial fuel oils usually are blended with other petroleum fractions to produce the desired viscosity and flash point.
Furnace oil, also known as fuel oil or heating oil, is a heavy petroleum-based product primarily used in industrial furnaces and boilers to generate heat. It's a residual product obtained after refining crude oil, making it one of the heavier products from the distillation process.
Primary Characteristics:
Appearance: Viscous liquid, typically dark brown or black.
Odor: Distinctive petroleum-based aroma.
Density: Heavier compared to light distillates like gasoline and diesel.
Sulfur Content: Can vary, but certain grades have a high sulfur content.
Specifications:
The quality and grade of furnace oil are often specified by standards such as ISO or regional standards. It's typically classified by its viscosity and sulfur content.
Applications:
Industrial Heating: Used in large furnaces, kilns, and boilers in various industries.
Power Generation: Some power plants operate on furnace oil, especially during peak demand or when other fuels are unavailable.
Marine: Older ships and certain marine vessels use furnace oil as a bunker fuel.
Advantages:
Cost-Effective: Often cheaper than other fuel types, especially in regions with abundant refineries.
High Energy Content: Its dense nature means it carries a significant amount of energy per unit.
Availability: Commonly available due to the vast global crude oil refining processes.
