Russian Mazut M**0 is a fuel oil that is manufactured to GOST specifications, GOST *******5 (not active), GOST *******9 Oil fuel (GOST is the Russian system of standards, much like ASTM, for example). Mazut is almost exclusively manufactured in the Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan. This kind of oil is graded as the heavy furnace oil. The product is produced from the remains of raw oil processing. This kind of mazut is produced only from the low sulphur raw oil. This product is typically used for larger boilers in producing steam since the BTU content is high. The most important consideration (not the only consideration) when grading this fuel is the sulfur content, which can mostly be affected by the source feedstock. For shipment purposes, this product is considered a dirty oil product, and because viscosity 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 M**0 with a Sulphur content of 0.5%

Low Sulphur is Mazut M**0 with a Sulphur content of 0.5%

Normal Sulphur is a Mazut M**0 with a Sulphur content of 1.**2.0%

High Sulphur is a Mazut M**0 with a Sulphur content of 2.**3.5%
