D6 Residual Fuel Oil, also known as Bunker C, is a heavy fuel used in power generation and high-performance industrial engines. Its viscosity and density make it ideal for large vessels, power plants, and industrial processes.
Complies with international standards, including ASTM D396 and environmental regulations for controlled emissions.
Technical Specifications
-
High energy density for efficient combustion.
-
Variable sulphur content, adjusted according to environmental regulations.
-
High viscosity, requires preheating before use.
-
Superior calorific value , ideal for heavy-duty applications.

Uses of Fuel Oil D6 (Bunker C)
Fuel Oil D6, also called Bunker C, is a heavy fuel used in industrial and maritime applications where high energy density and prolonged combustion are required. Due to its high viscosity and sulfur content, it usually needs preheating before use.
Restrictions and Regulations
-
Regulated by IMO 2020 due to its high sulphur content.
-
Its use in the maritime industry has declined in favour of cleaner fuels such as MGO (Marine Gas Oil) or VLSFO (Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil).
