The major users of Heavy Fuel Oil are large processing
factories and Co-Ops.
It is heavy oil that has an appearance of tar/treacle.
It is the cheapest of all oils, at nearly 8ppl cheaper
than Gas Oil.
The sulphur content is high and therefore there can
sometimes be a smell when burning and also the sediment
residue would be high. However Emo sell only Low Sulphur
HFO which is friendlier to the environment.
It needs to be heated before burning which adds to the
cost of Heavy Fuel Oil.
