Mazut is a heavy, low quality fuel oil, used in generating plants and similar applications. Mazut is blended or broken down, with the end product being diesel.

Mazut may be used for heating houses in countries of the Far East that do not have the facilities to blend or break it down into more conventional petro-chemicals. Furnaces that burn mazut are commonly called "waste oil" heaters or "waste oil" furnaces.

Mazut***0 is a fuel oil that is manufactured to GOST specifications, for example GOST *******5/*9.

GOST is the Russian system of standards. Mazut is almost exclusively manufactured in the Russian Federation, This product is typically used for larger boilers in producing steam since the BTU content is high. The most important consideration when grading this fuel is the sulfur content, which can mostly be affected by the source feedstock.

For shipment purposes, this product has a high viscosity which drastically affect whether it is able to be pumped, shipping has unique requirements. Mazut is much like Number 6 Oil, and is part of the products left over after gasoline and lighter components are evaporated from the crude oil.

The main difference between the different types of Mazut***0 is the content of sulphur. The grades are represented by these sulfuric levels:

Very Low Sulphur is mazut with a sulphur content of 0.5%
Low Sulphur is a mazut with a sulphur content of 0.**1.0%
Normal Sulphur is a mazut with a sulphur content of 1.**2.0%
High Sulphur is a mazut with a sulphur content of 2.**3.5%

Very Low Sulfur mazut is generally made from the lowest sulfur crude feedstocks.
