Crude oil is a naturally occurring, unrefined petroleum product composed of hydrocarbon deposits and other organic materials. A fossil fuel, it is formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms deposited over millions of years. After extraction, crude oil undergoes refining processes at oil refineries to separate it into various components and derivatives. These processes produce a range of products, including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, heating oil, asphalt, lubricants, and plastics, mak
Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF), also known as Jet Fuel or Avtur, is specifically formulated for use in aircraft powered by gas-turbine engines. This fuel is generally clear or has a pale yellow appearance. The most common types of jet fuel used for commercial aviation are Jet A and Jet A-1, which comply with international standards for quality and safety. These standards ensure consistent performance across the aviation industry. Jet fuel is derived from a fraction of the crude oil distillation p
D6, commonly referred to as Residual Fuel Oil, is characterized by its high viscosity. To utilize this type of fuel oil efficiently, it needs to be preheated to a temperature range of 220 to 260 degrees Fahrenheit. Predominantly, D6 serves as the fuel of choice for generators. It is also a standard residual fuel used in power generation and by large maritime vessels, requiring thermal preconditioning for optimal use
Gasoil, commonly referred to as D2 in refineries, represents the second distillation byproduct from crude oil processing and can be utilized in its natural form without the need for additional reformers or additives. The key distinction between GASOIL and its D2 grade is the sulfur content. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) provides a benchmark for D2 sulfur levels, which serves as a reference point for the majority of petroleum companies
The EN590 specification for Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) with a maximum of 10ppm sulfur content was implemented in conjunction with European emission standards. Successive updates to the EN 590 standard have consistently reduced the sulfur levels in diesel fuel. Since 2007, diesel with such significantly reduced sulfur content has been termed ultra-low sulfur diesel, reflecting the removal of sulfur's traditional role as a lubricant in the fuel
Liquefied Natural Gas, or LNG, is essentially natural gas that has been cooled to a temperature of minus 161 degrees Celsius. This cooling process transforms the gas into a liquid state, significantly reducing its volume by a factor of approximately 600 times compared to its gaseous state. This dramatic decrease in volume facilitates easier and more economical storage and transportation, especially in scenarios where pipeline infrastructure is nonexistent or impractical to construct.
