Furnace Oil (All Grades)
Furnace Oil is a heavy petroleum fuel widely used in industrial heating systems, boilers, furnaces, and power generation plants. It is specifically designed to produce high thermal energy, making it an essential fuel source for industries that require consistent heat generation and large-scale energy output.
Manufactured and supplied by Merco WLL, a key industrial entity within MERCO Group Bahrain, furnace oil is produced using advanced refining and processing technologies to ensure reliable combustion, consistent viscosity, and stable industrial performance.
Merco WLL offers a complete range of furnace oil grades to support diverse industrial requirements including manufacturing, energy production, and heavy industrial operations.
Product Overview
Furnace oil is a residual fuel obtained from crude oil refining and petroleum processing streams. Due to its high calorific value and cost efficiency, it is commonly used in industries that require continuous heating, steam generation, and high-temperature processing.
Depending on viscosity, sulfur content, and combustion characteristics, furnace oil is available in several grades designed to meet specific industrial applications.
These fuels are optimized for high heat output, stable combustion, and efficient energy utilization in large-scale heating systems.
Furnace Oil Grades Offered
Merco WLL supplies a variety of furnace oil grades suitable for different industrial systems and operational requirements.
Light Furnace Oil (LFO)
A lower-viscosity furnace oil designed for industrial burners and heating equipment that require easier pumping and smoother combustion.
Medium Furnace Oil (MFO)
