Description of Heavy Hydrocarbon

Heavy hydrocarbons are composed of heavier fractions derived from oil and gas processing. These materials are obtained through intermediate distillation or segregation cuts, typically covering a boiling range between 40°C and 400°C.

Based on viscosity adjustment and end-use requirements, heavy hydrocarbons are commonly classified into three main grades:

• Grade 180

• Grade 280

• Grade 380

Each grade is formulated to meet specific industrial and energy-related applications, offering flexibility in performance and handling.

Features of Heavy Hydrocarbon

Heavy hydrocarbons are industrial-grade compounds consisting of long-chain hydrocarbons, including:

• Aromatic hydrocarbons

• Cycloalkanes

• Alkanes

The viscosity of heavy hydrocarbons is carefully regulated according to their intended use. Depending on application requirements, the molecular chain length and physical characteristics can be adjusted to ensure optimal performance.

Key features include:

• High energy content

• Adjustable viscosity

• Cost-effective fuel alternative

• Suitable for industrial-scale applications
