Description
Russian Fuel Oil Mazut M**0 GOST *******5 or *******9 Mazut is a
heavy, low quality fuel oil, used in generating plants.
Mazut***0 is a fuel oil that is manufactured to GOST
specifications, for example GOST *******5 or *9. (GOST is the
Russian system of standards, much like ASTM, for example). Mazut is
almost exclusively manufactured in the Russian Federation,
Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan. This product is typically
used for larger boilers in producing steam since the BTU content is
high. The most important consideration (not the only consideration)
when grading this fuel is the sulfur content, which can mostly be
affected by the source feedstock. For shipment purposes, this
product is considered a dirty oil product, and because viscosity
drastically affect whether it is able to be pumped, shipping has
unique requirements. Mazut is much like Number 6 Oil, and is part
of the products left over after gasoline and lighter components are
evaporated from the crude oil. The main difference
between the different types of Mazut***0 is the content of sulphur.
The grades are represented by these sulfuric levels: Very Low
Sulphur is mazut with a sulphur content of 0.5% Low Sulphur is a
mazut with a sulphur content of 0.**1.0% Normal Sulphur is a mazut
with a sulphur content of 1.**2.0% High Sulphur is a mazut with a
sulphur content of 2.**3.5%
