Fuel oil is a refined petroleum product used for heating, power generation, and various industrial processes. It’s one of the most widely used energy sources across the UAE’s manufacturing, shipping, and heavy industries, providing consistent energy output and cost-effective performance.
In essence, fuel oil is the energy backbone of industrial heating and production. It is derived from the distillation of crude oil and includes a range of grades based on viscosity, flash point, and sulfur content, making it suitable for diverse applications.
Types of Fuel Oil
Light Fuel Oil (LFO): Low viscosity oil suitable for small furnaces, dryers, and boilers. It ignites quickly and burns cleaner, producing minimal smoke.
Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO): A thicker, energy dense fuel ideal for large industrial boilers, marine engines, and power plants.
Blended Fuel Oils: Customized formulations that balance performance, price, and environmental compliance ideal for specialized client requirements.
A high-quality fuel oil should deliver:
Stable combustion and high calorific value
Low sulfur and ash for cleaner emissions
Minimal sediments and water content
Consistent viscosity for efficient pumping and atomization
Compatibility with industrial burners and marine engines
