Residual Marine Fuel Oil (RMG)

Residual Marine Fuel Oil is the general classification of heavy fuel oil and is considered as the most important byproduct after gas oils and gasoline is extracted. It’s mainly used in marine engines, industrial boilers, and power generation units, offering high thermal output and stable combustion. It helps in calculating carbon aromaticity index that indicates the ignition delay of fuel oil. It meets ISO 8217 standards.
