Furnace Oil for Heating, Steam, and Industrial Use
Furnace Oil, also known as fuel oil, is a heavy petroleum-based liquid used for generating heat and steam in industrial, commercial, and institutional settings. It ranks among the major supplies in the UAE, ensuring consistent quality and reliable availability. Offering steady combustion and high energy output, furnace oil provides a cost-effective and dependable energy solution for large-scale heating and industrial operations.
Furnace Oil – Composition, Grades, Uses, and Safety in the UAE
Furnace oil is a dark, viscous fuel oil used for industrial heat and power in large furnaces and boilers. Its viscosity determines the preheating required: Low Viscosity (LV) oils need minimal preheating, Medium Viscosity (MV1 and MV2) oils like 180 cSt are common in industry and marine use, and High Viscosity (HV) oils require higher preheating. Special and low-sulfur grades are available for specific applications, providing industries with reliable and cost-effective energy solutions.
