Fuel oil is a low viscosity, liquid petroleum product, consisting mainly of residues from crude-oil distillations. Fuel oil is made up of long-chain hydrocarbons, especially alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatics. Fuel oil falls into the category of heavy industrial fuels, which is heavier than diesel and naphtha fuels. Fuel oil includes trace metals, high-molecular-weight sulfur-containing compounds, asphalts, coke, salt, silt, and etc. The other name of Fuel oil that commonly used are:
- Crown oil,
- Furnace oil,
- Industrial heating oil,
- Home heating oil
In commercial fuel oils, other petroleum fractions with higher viscosities are blended with it and produce the desired viscosity and flash point.
The first advantage of fuel oil is that not being explosive except in special conditions (It’s ignited at the specific system). So it can be stored safely, and also it can be used in boilers and furnaces without any safety issues. The other benefit is the economical side, which is extremely cheaper than gas and electricity.
