1. Fuel oil
Fuel oil refers to a range of petroleum-derived liquids obtained through the distillation of crude oil. These oils include both lighter fractions, known as distillates, and heavier fractions, known as residues. Common types of fuel oils include heavy fuel oil (also known as bunker fuel), marine fuel oil (MFO), furnace oil (FO), gas oil (or gasoil), heating oils (such as home heating oil), and diesel fuel. Each type serves specific industrial, commercial, or residential energy needs, depending on its composition and characteristics.
2. Naphtha
Naphtha is a highly flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture. It is typically derived from crude oil, though it can also be obtained from natural gas condensates, petroleum distillates, and through the fractional distillation of coal tar or peat.
3. Kerosene
Kerosene, also known as paraffin, is a combustible hydrocarbon liquid derived from petroleum. It’s widely used as fuel for jet engines, rocket engines.t is also commonly used as a cooking and lighting fuel. Kerosene is a low-viscosity, clear liquid formed from hydrocarbons obtained from the fractional distillation of petroleum.
4. Gas oil
Gas oil refers to any liquid fuel used in diesel engines, where ignition occurs through compression rather than a spark. Commonly known as diesel fuel, it is widely used across various modes of transportation, as well as in generators and agricultural machinery.
