Crude Oils
Crude oil is a mixture of more than 500 components. It consists mainly of hydrocarbons with different boiling points. This is used to extract the various petroleum products in a refinery by means of distillation.
We work very closely and directly with authorized suppliers who, among other things, provide crude oil.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas
LPG
LPG, also known as autogas, is liquid gas intended for use in vehicle internal combustion engines, a variable mixture consisting mainly of butane and propane. The main mixture of propane-butane, the octane number of which is between 105 and 115 depending on the butane content. Usually from 103 to 111 octane RON with mixed gas in the ratio propane to butane 60:40 or from 104 to 107 octane RON at 40:60.
LPG can also be used in other areas, such as rural heating, motor fuel, cooling and cooking.
Liquefied Natural Gas
LNG
Liquefied natural gas is referred to as liquefied natural gas that has been cooled to -161 to -164 Celsius. The natural gas is usually transported in pipelines from a natural gas production facility to a gas liquefaction plant or an LNG terminal in a port, where it is stored, processed and liquefied by cooling. It contains a mixture of methane and heavy hydrocarbons, as well as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water and components such as sulfur compounds.
The use of LNG as a fuel and heating oil alternative is advantageous because it has a very high efficiency in storage / transport, lower emissions, is odorless and non-toxic / corrosive.
Jet Fuel
Grade 54, Jet A
Kerosene, a light petroleum, is an aviation fuel with different specifications, which is mainly used as fuel for the gas turbine engines of
Jet and turbo-prop aircraft and helicopters (jet fuel) can be used.
Kerosene is a narrow fractionation cut from the light middle distillate of petroleum refining, provided with additive packages to achieve the respective specification. The boiling curve of kerosene is quite flat compared to other fuels.
The following specifications are usually used for civil and military aviation:
Jet A, Jet B, TS-1, Jet Fuel – Grade 54, JP54, Jet 3
Asphalt bitumen
different Grades
Bitumen is the name given to the dark-colored, semi-solid to spring-hard, sticky hydrocarbon mixtures obtained during the gentle processing of crude oil. It is mainly obtained as a residue from the vacuum distillation of petroleum. Only special crude oils are permitted here, almost exclusively only heavy crude oils.
Bitumen can be used in many ways, for example in hydraulic engineering, in the roofing and waterproofing membrane industry and in road construction.
The classification of the different types of bitumen is examined using special test methods. Such as, grades 20/30, 50/70
EN590 Diesel
Diesel fuel is a mixture of different hydrocarbons that is suitable as fuel for a diesel engine. The specification for marine diesel (marine diesel oil) deviates from this.
It is also a mixture of kerosene, different middle distillate fractions, currently up to seven percent by volume biodiesel, and various additives. Kerosene and gas oil are largely obtained by fractionating crude oil as middle distillate fractions and desulphurized for diesel production.
