Furnace oil is a thick and dark residual fuel. It is a complex mix of hydrocarbons with carbon atoms ranging mainly from 20 to 55. This oil is prepared by mixing the residual products from different petroleum refining processes with appropriate dilatants. Further furnace oil is graded based on the addition of dilatants (middle distillates such as gasoline, high speed diesel, kerosene Etc.) to get necessary fuel oil grades.
