HSFO (High Sulphur Fuel Oil) is a type of fuel oil that has a high sulfur content. This fuel is commonly used in diesel engines with low revolutions, which are below 300 rpm. The high sulfur content in HSFO has a significant impact on the environment because it produces harmful emissions.
Characteristics of HSFO:
- Viscosity: HSFO has a high level of viscosity, even reaching 380 cSt.
- Sulfur Content: HSFO has a high sulfur content, reaching 4% v/v.
- Usage: HSFO is often used as fuel in the main engines of ships and also in industry.
