Reliable Performance for Industrial Use

Specially tailored for demanding industries, Light Fuel Oil delivers consistent calorific value and stable combustion for various heating applications. The controlled viscosity and low sediment content reduce wear and clogging in equipment, enhancing productivity and minimizing maintenance frequency. Suitable for installation in boilers, furnaces, kilns, and process heaters, this fuel oil adapts well to bulk or drum storage without compromising on quality.

Stringent Quality and Safety Standards

Our Light Fuel Oil adheres to strict limits on sulphur (max 1.0%), sediment (max 0.10%), and acidity (max 0.05 mg KOH/g), ensuring compatibility with modern industrial processes. With a flash point above 66C and low water and ash content, this oil supports safe storage and transportation while helping to meet regulatory requirements. The product's excellent storage stability under covered conditions makes it a preferred choice among industry professionals.

FAQ's of Light Fuel Oil:

Q: How should Light Fuel Oil be stored to maintain its quality?

A: Light Fuel Oil should be stored under covered conditions, preferably in tightly sealed bulk tankers or drums, to preserve its stability, prevent water ingress, and avoid contamination from particulates.

Q: What are the primary industrial uses of Light Fuel Oil?

A: It is widely used in boilers, furnaces, kilns, and heaters for energy generation and process heating in various industries due to its high calorific value and clean-burning properties.

Q: When is it most appropriate to use Light Fuel Oil instead of heavier grades?

A: Light Fuel Oil is recommended when equipment requires a lower viscosity fuel for efficient atomization and combustion, or when operational temperature ranges and environmental regulations favor fuels with lower sulphur content and better storage stability.

Q: Where can Light Fuel Oil be sourced in India?

A: It is available through authorized distributors, importers, manufacturers, service providers, suppliers, and traders specializing in industrial fuels across India. Bulk orders can be customized according to required quantities.

Q: What is the process for handling and transferring Light Fuel Oil safely?

A: Handling involves using dedicated pumps, pipelines, and containers made for petroleum products, maintaining ambient temperatures below the flash point, and following standard industrial safety protocols, including proper personal protective equipment.

Q: What benefits does Light Fuel Oil provide compared to similar fuels?

A: Its high calorific value, controlled chemical composition, low sulphur and ash contents, and reliable stability make it ideal for sensitive industrial applications, helping to minimize maintenance and environmental impact.
