Industrial Fuel Oil/ Non-Agricultural Oil Testing
Fuel oils are used as energy-generating fuels in industry and for power units. Heating oil, also called Industrial fuel oil, is used in & boilers & furnace for generating heat energy or for industrial heating, and for producing electricity in power plants.
Fuel oil, also called furnace oil, fuel consisting mainly of residue from crude oil distillation. It is used primarily for steam boilers in power plants, aboard ships, and in industrial plants. Industrial fuel oil is usually blended with other petroleum fractions to produce the desired viscosity and flash point. It is suitable for Road Constructions, Hot-max Plants, Bath-mix Plants, Industrial Boilers, Burners & Boilers.
BENEFIT OF INDUSTRIAL FUEL OIL TESTING
Confirm if it meets the desired specification
Red flag quality issues and alert the client with respect to fuel related problems
Guide the client to on board fuel management, engine performance, fuel consumption
Identify fuel pump failures
Identify smoking and anti-knocking issues
Monitor emissions due to Sulfur and NOx emissions
Monitor machinery breakdown due to high catfines and asphaltene
Monitor sludge formation due to sediments, silicates, high water content and bacterial contamination
