Sulphur (Granular, Lump & Powder)
Sulphur is one of the most important elements and is essential for life. It’s an integral component of the world economy used to manufacture many products including several chemicals and fertilizers. It is also is a vital nutrient for humans, crops and animals. Aside from this, the element is used in many other ways. It is […]
Granular & Prilled Urea
Granular & Prilled Urea: Granular Urea is a white crystalline solid containing 46% nitrogen. It has the highest nitrogen content of any solid nitrogen fertilizer. Granular urea can be applied directly to the soil while using normal spreading equipment. Most of today‘s urea is manufactured as granules. Granules are harder, larger, and more resistant to moisture. […]
Bitumen
Bitumen is naturally occurring and is a black, sticky and highly viscous form of petroleum. It is so thick and heavy that it must be diluted or heated before it will flow. It is naturally occurring and sometimes specified by the term “Crude Bitumen”. Its viscosity is similar to that of cold molasses while the material […]
Naphtha
Naphtha is a highly versatile commodity. It is a feedstock for the petrochemical industry. It is used for blending into gasoline. It’s also widely used as a diluent. We source, trade and transport naphtha and condensates for use mainly by the petrochemical industry. Refineries are the main naphtha suppliers. Most of the traded market in naphtha comes […]
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
Liquefied (Liquid) Petroleum Gas (LPG or LP Gas), also referred to as simply Propane or Butane, are flammable mixtures of hydrocarbon gases used as fuel in heating appliances, cooking equipment, and vehicles. It is increasingly used as an aerosol propellant and a refrigerant replacing Chlorofluorocarbons. It is in an effort to reduce damage to the Ozone layer. When specifically used as […]
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas (predominantly Methane, with some mixture of Ethane). It has been cooled down to liquid form for ease and safety of non-pressurized storage or transport. It is odorless, colorless, non–toxic and non–corrosive. Hazards include flammability after vaporization into a gaseous state, freezing, and asphyxia. The liquefaction process involves the removal of certain components, such as dust, acid gases, Helium, water, […]
Aviation Jet Fuel A-1 & JP54
Aviation Jet Fuel A & A–1 are commonly referred to as JP54. This is the wrong terminology as there is no such grade of Jet Fuel. Jet A and Jet A–1 are what refineries offer. Jet fuel powers gas turbine aircraft engines. It’s the most used low Sulphur content kerosene worldwide. Colonial JP54 is similar […]
Mazut M100, 280CST & 380CST
Mazut is vicious, dark and heavy fuel oil, which is used as a form of commercial fuel. It is mostly used in generating plants and factories. In the United States of America and Europe, It is also used for the production of diesel. In Russia and other Eastern countries, it’s used for heating houses. The oil […]
Diesel EN590
Diesel EN590 (Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel) describes the physical properties that all automotive diesel fuel must meet if it is to be sold in the European Union and Britain. Automotive diesel has national variants but the usual variants traded are EN590 and EN560 which are specified by ISO in Paris. Diesel EN590 for diesel (in Europe) has been around for almost 20 years. However fuel, […]
D6 Virgin Fuel Oil
D6 Virgin Fuel Oil is also being known as Residual Fuel Oil and is of high–viscosity. This particular fuel oil requires preheating to 220–260ºF (= 104, 44–126, 66°C). D6 is mostly used for generators. Recent changes in fuel quality regulation now require further refining of the D6 in order to remove the sulfur, which leads to a higher cost. […]
