Mazut (M100)
Mazut-100 is a fuel oil that is manufactured to GOST specifications, for example GOST 10585-75 or 99. This product is typically used for larger boilers in producing steam since the BTU content is high. Mazut is much like Number 6 Oil, and is part of the products left over after gasoline and lighter components are evaporated from the crude oil.
The main difference between the different types of Mazut-100 is the content of sulphur. The grades are represented by these sulphuric levels:
- “Very Low Sulphur” is mazut with a sulphur content of 0.5%
- “Low Sulphur” is a mazut with a sulphur content of 0.5-1.0%
- “Normal Sulphur” is a mazut with a sulphur content of 1.0-2.0%
- “High Sulphur” is a mazut with a sulphur content of 2.0-3.5%
