Detailed Description
Diesel D6, also known as Residual Fuel Oil (RFO) or Bunker C, is a high-density, high-viscosity fuel. It is a cost-effective energy source primarily used in large-scale industrial applications and marine propulsion systems that can handle heavier fuel grades. It is a byproduct of crude oil distillation.
Key Benefits
- Economical fuel source for high-consumption operations.
- High energy density provides significant power output.
- Widely available in major ports and industrial hubs.
Common Applications
- Marine propulsion for large ocean-going vessels
- Electric power generation in industrial power plants
- Fuel for industrial boilers and furnaces
- Asphalt production
