MAZUT

Description

Mazut is a vicious, dark and heavy fuel oil, which is used as a form of commercial fuel. It is mostly used in generating plants and factories.

In the United States of America and Europe, It is also used for the production of diesel. In Russia and other Eastern countries, its used for heating houses.

The oil is extremely attractive to consumers due to the economical price of the product, the availability and  the ease of refining the crude forms of it. M**0 GOST is also manufactured to GOST specifications.

The high BTU (British thermal unit) content makes it ideal for larger boilers in producing steam. It is especially remarkable for the amount of energy it generates. It can be compared to Number 6 Oil, its part of the products left over after gasoline and lighter compounds are evaporated from the oil.

It is almost exclusively manufactured in the Iran, Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan. 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.

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 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 with a sulphur content of 2.*3.5%.
