Technical kerosene KT-1 is a high-demand oil product. It is obtained from oil by rectification and is a combustible flammable liquid. After distillation under pressure and at high temperature, the obtained hydrocarbon mixture is subject to dearomatization or hydro treatment, depending on its further application. Technical kerosene is a popular industrial product which is applied […]

Furnace oil is use for stationary heating systems, industrial and household furnaces, power plants. Heating oil is residual fuel oil (masut) of different viscosity. Masut M40 and M100 are used in floor steam boilers and industrial furnaces. Furnace oils is produced from oil distillation residues. The numbers in its marking indicate the approximate viscosity of […]

Oil is not accidentally called “black gold”. It is used for production of thousands of products that we use every day, and the price of oil is one of the main determinants of the economics. Even a small increase in the cost of a barrel entails a rise in prices for refined products, transportation and […]

Diesel fuel (DF) is used for the operation of piston diesel internal combustion engines, named for their inventor Rudolf Diesel. In gasoline engines, ignition occurs from a spark, whereas in diesel engines fuel ignites when compressed under high pressure. The exhaust gas temperature of a diesel engine is lower than that of a gasoline engine. […]

Diesel fuel is a popular and demanded product that is used in many areas. But, despite the optimal combination of cost, technical qualities and environmental friendliness, its application can be economically impractical for a number of industries. Therefore, to reduce costs in those systems where possible, analogues of diesel fuel are used. Analogs are oil […]

Gasoline is the most common type of fuel that is used for most vehicles. It is a colorless or slightly yellowish flammable liquid consisting mainly of hydrocarbons. It is produced by distilling oil or splitting petroleum products. Fuel gasoline is used for spark-ignition internal-combustion engines in road and air transport. The quality of the fuel […]

One of many products of oil refining is kerosene. This colorless slightly oily liquid was especially popular in the 19th and early 20th century when used in kerosene lamps for lighting and in stoves for cooking. It still remains relevant today: kerosene can be bought in Moscow directly from the refinery. Kerosene is widely used […]

Oil, along with its derivatives, gave us many useful by-products, one of which is gas condensate. It is a liquid hydrocarbon mixture of yellow color in different shades. The color saturation is determined by the content of oil impurities. Gas condensate, like oil, is produced by drilling a well at the site of occurrence of […]

Oil solvents are flammable liquids obtained by distillation of oil and used in household and industry. The common name of such products is Nephras (by the first parts of words). This group includes straight-run gasoline, stable gas naphtha, kerosene, white spirit, etc. Oil solvents are used in paint and varnish, rubber, light industry, food industry, […]

Natural gas is close in origin to oil and is often its companion in the production fields. There, it either dissolves in oil, or accumulates in the upper part of the rock and forms a “gas cap”. The main component of gas deposits is methane (85-95%) with impurities of heavier hydrocarbons – propane, butane, ethane. […]
