Trade Lead Description:
We are searching for suppliers of residual fuel oil, definition is as below: residual fuel/oil
The liquid or semi-liquid, high-boiling fraction of residue from the distillation
of petroleum which is used as a fuel. After removal of the lower
boiling fraction of crude oil, sold as petroleum gas, the somewhat higher
boiling fraction becomes gasoline and diesel oil. A portion of the higher
boiling fraction is ‘cracked’ to yield additional gasoline. Still heavier oils
become lubricants. Paraffin, asphalt, etc., are also extracted from the crude
oil. It is the remaining residual oil, not economically usable for other
industrial purposes, which is then sold as a relatively low cost fuel for
burning. 1990, 62, 2211
