Furnace oil also known as fuel oil or heavy industrial oil is a viscous, dark petroleum product used widely in industrial heating, boilers, furnaces, and marine engines. It’s produced from the distillation of crude oil after lighter fractions such as diesel, kerosene, and naphtha are removed.
In the UAE, furnace oil plays a critical role in powering heavy industries like cement, steel, and shipping. Depending on its composition and quality, it can deliver efficient combustion and high heat output while minimizing soot and emissions.
There are several types of furnace oil, including:
Light Furnace Oil (LFO): A cleaner-burning, low-viscosity variant suitable for small and medium furnaces, kilns, and dryers.
Heavy Furnace Oil (HFO): Denser and energy-rich, ideal for large industrial boilers and power generation units.
Blended Furnace Oils: Customized mixtures to meet specific client requirements for viscosity, calorific value, and flash point.
A high-quality furnace oil should have:
Low sulfur and ash content
High calorific value
Consistent viscosity for smooth pumping
Minimal sediments and water traces
Stable combustion properties for uniform heating
