GASOIL

A middle distillate and form of heating oil used primarily in heating and air-conditioning systems. One of the most actively traded oil products, gasoil is the underlying in a key International Petroleum Exchange (IPE) futures contract. In refining terms, gasoil comes between fuel oil and the lighter products such as naphtha and gasoline. In its broader definition, it covers the oil products used for diesel automotive fuel. We offer a wide range of gasoil varying from 10 ppm Low Sulphur to 10,000 ppm High Sulphur.

LPG

Liquefied petroleum gas or liquid petroleum gas (LPG or LP gas), also referred to as simply propane or butane, are flammable mixtures of hydrocarbon gases used as fuel in heating appliances, cooking equipment, and vehicles. Varieties of LPG bought and sold include mixes that are mostly propane (C3H8), mostly butane (C4H10) and, most commonly, mixes including both propane and butane.

AVIATION FUEL

Aviation fuel is a specialized type of petroleum-based fuel used to power aircraft. It is generally of a higher quality than fuels used in less critical applications, such as heating or road transport, and often contains additives to reduce the risk of icing or explosion due to high temperature, among other properties. Most current commercial airlines and military aircraft use jet fuel for maximum fuel efficiency and lowest cost. These aircraft account for the vast majority of aviation fuel refined today, which is also used in diesel aircraft engines.

FUEL OIL

Heavy fuel oils are mainly used as marine fuel, and HFO is the most widely used marine fuel at this time. Heavy fuel oil is a residual fuel incurred during the distillation of crude oil. The quality of the residual fuel depends on the quality of the crude oil used in the refinery. To achieve various specifications and quality levels, these residual fuels are blended with lighter fuels such as marine gasoil or marine diesel oil. The resulting blends are also referred to as intermediate fuel oils (IFO) or marine diesel oil. They are classified and named according to their viscosity. The most commonly used types are IFO 180 and IFO 380, with viscosities of 180 mm²/s and 380 mm²/s, respectively. If there is a predominance of heavy fuel oil in a blend, it is assigned to the heavy fuel oil category.

BITUMEN

Bitumen, also known as asphalt in the United States, is a substance that forms through the distillation of crude oil. It has waterproofing and adhesive properties. Bitumen production through distillation removes lighter crude oil components, such as gasoline and diesel, leaving the “heavier” bitumen behind. The producer often refines it several times to improve its grade. Bitumen can also occur in nature: Deposits of naturally occurring bitumen form at the bottom of ancient lakes, where prehistoric organisms have since decayed and have been subjected to heat and pressure.

LNG

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a composition of methane and some mixture of ethane used to convert natural gas to liquid form for ease and safety of storage transport. It is cooled to approximately -256 degrees Fahrenheit so that it can be transported from countries with a large supply of natural gas to countries that demand more natural gas than they produce. In its liquid state, natural gas takes up 1/600th of the space, making it much easier to ship and store when pipeline transport is not feasible. As world energy consumption increases, experts anticipate that the LNG trade will grow in importance.

KEROSENE

Kerosene is typically pale yellow or colorless and has a not-unpleasant odor. It is obtained from petroleum and is used for burning in kerosene lamps and domestic heaters or furnaces, as a fuel component for jet engines, and a solvent for greases and insecticides. Kerosene is low-viscosity, clear liquid form hydrocarbons obtained from the fractional distillation of petroleum between 150 and 275 Degree, resulting in a maximum with a density of 0.78-0.81 g/cm3

LIGHT CRUDE

Light crude is typically more valuable, easier to refine, and contains greater quantities of hydrocarbons than heavier variants. Whether a crude oil is light or heavy is determined by the impurities it contains and measured by its API Gravity; a standard measurement created by the American Petroleum Institute that compares the density of a given crude to the density of water. Pure petroleum by nature is less dense than water, so the API Gravity is a measure of how pure a particular oil is, and subsequently gives an indication of its ease and expense to both transport and refine
