Mazut is a heavy, low quality fuel oil, used in generating plants
and similar applications In the United States and Western Europe,
mazut is blended or broken down with the end product being
diesel.
Mazut may be used for heating houses in former USSR and in
countries of Far East that do not have the facilities to blend or
break it down into more traditional petro-chemicals. In the west,
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 or *9. (GOST is the
Russian system of standards, much like ASTM, for example). 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
(not the only consideration) when grading this fuel is the sulfur
content, which can mostly be affected by the source feedstock
Fuel oil mazut **0 is supplied according to the Russian technical
specification GOST *******9, section for fuel oil, mazut sort **0.
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. Origin country for
this kind of mazut is only Russia.It is very limited volume of this
mazut available for export from Russia because of the following
reasons:
There is limited number of producers in Russia, who produce this
kind of mazut. All of them are the big Russian oil companies, like
Lukoil, Rossibneft, etc.
Minimum half of the produced volume is sold on the domestic market
of Russia and CIS.
Most of the volumes for export are sold according to the state
quotes to the state companies abroad.
The remaining export volumes are sold by the daughter commercial
organizations of the oil producers to the highest bidder.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 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%
At present, as evidenced by the above market conditions, demand
exceeds many times the available supply. In such cases, the
refineries dictate terms for the sale. At present, universally,
whether state controlled corporation or private company, domestic
or foreign, are for total cash pre-payment, **0%, *1 days in
advance of the delivery date. Said another way, the delivery date
is set only after the cash payment is registered (cleared) at the
refinery’s bank account. The arrangement is not negotiable with the
refineries. (Please refer to producer’s own web sites for
confirmation of this fact.) Low to high sulfur mazut is available
from Russia and other CIS countries (Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan,
Turkmenistan). The technical specifications are represented in the
same way, according to the Russian GOST standard *******9. Many
people ask the difference between origins, and the main difference
is the price. The Russian origin mazut demands higher prices.
