FUEL OIL CST-180

Fuel Oil CST-180 is a heavy fuel oil (HFO) with a kinematic viscosity of 180 centistokes (cst) at 50°C. It is a residual fuel oil, which means it is the remaining product after the distillation of crude oil. HFO is typically used in marine boilers and industrial furnaces.

CST-180 is a relatively low-sulfur HFO, with a sulfur content of 2.0% or less. This makes it compliant with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) 2020 sulfur cap regulations. The IMO 2020 sulfur cap limits the sulfur content of HFO used in marine vessels to 0.5%.

CST-180 is a versatile fuel oil that can be used in a variety of applications. Some of the most common uses of CST-180 include:

• Marine boilers: CST-180 is the most common type of HFO used in marine boilers. It is a dense, high-energy fuel that is well-suited for burning in marine boilers.
• Industrial furnaces: CST-180 is also used in industrial furnaces, where it is used to generate heat for a variety of processes.
• Cement kilns: CST-180 is sometimes used as a fuel in cement kilns.
• Power plants: CST-180 can also be used in power plants, where it is used to generate electricity.

CST-180 is a relatively low-cost fuel oil. This makes it an attractive option for a variety of applications. However, CST-180 is also a relatively dirty fuel oil, which means it can produce emissions that are harmful to the environment.

Overall, CST-180 is a versatile and economical fuel oil that can be used in a variety of applications. However, it is important to be aware of the environmental impacts of CST-180 before using it.
