VIRGIN FUEL OIL D6

Product Description

Virgin Fuel Oil D6, also known as Residual Fuel Oil or Bunker C, is a heavy, viscous petroleum product derived from crude oil refining processes. It's characterized by its high viscosity and density, making it suitable for specific industrial applications requiring a reliable and energy-dense fuel source.

Key Characteristics:

- High Energy Content: D6 fuel oil has a high BTU value, making it an efficient fuel source for continuous power production and marine propulsion.
- Heavy Viscosity: It's significantly thicker than standard diesel fuels, requiring pre-heating before use, especially in colder climates.
- High Sulfur Content: D6 typically contains higher sulfur levels, leading to emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2), a major contributor to air pollution and acid rain.
- Cost-Effective: Often more affordable than lighter distillate fuels, D6 is a strategic choice for clients looking to optimize fuel costs for large-scale operations.

Typical Applications:

- Power Generation: Used in thermal power plants to generate electricity through steam turbines.
- Marine Industry: Widely used as bunker fuel in cargo ships, tankers, and industrial vessels due to its energy density and availability.
- Industrial Processes: Employed in various industrial applications requiring high-temperature heating and steam generation, such as manufacturing, refineries, and chemical processes.
- Asphalt Production: Used as a feedstock in asphalt production, contributing to the manufacturing of road surfaces and waterproofing materials.
