Fuel oil is a type of refined oil. It is one of the heavier
residual products from the refining of crude oil, after
lighter components such as gasoline, kerosene, and
diesel are first separated. Primarily the residue from
the cracking and straight-run distillation of crude oil,
fuel oil is characterized by its high viscosity as well as
the significant amount of non-hydrocarbon compounds,
resins, and asphaltenes. Fuel oil is principally used in
oil refining and chemical, transport, construction, and
metallurgy industries. In recent years, the consumption
of fuel oil by boilers and power generation has dropped
sharply, whereas the demand in the marine fuel market
is rising steadily
