Fuel Oil Virgin (D6)

Fuel Oil Virgin (D6) is a kind of fuel oil that is mostly applied in industrial and marine settings. It is a thick, viscous, and dense fuel oil that is created by the refining of crude oil. Remaining fuel oil or bunker fuel are other names for D6 fuel. D6 fuel oil is a very polluting fuel due to its high sulphur concentration. As a result, its use is governed by laws and subject to limitations in many regions of the world. It also has a high density and viscosity, which necessitates specialized handling and storage tools. In the shipping sector, D6 fuel oil is frequently used as a marine fuel, especially in big cargo ships, tankers, and container ships. Also, it is employed in industrial facilities that need a lot of fuel, like power plants. Nonetheless, there are initiatives to gradually phase out the usage of D6 fuel oil in favour of cleaner and more sustainable energy sources due to its high level of pollution.
