Light Diesel Oil (LDO) Black is a medium-viscosity petroleum-based industrial fuel derived from refinery distillation processes. It is darker in appearance due to higher residual content and is widely used in industrial heating systems, furnaces, boilers, thermic fluid heaters, and diesel-operated equipment where high-speed automotive diesel is not required.
This grade typically has a density range of 0.9000.925 g/cm, offering stable combustion performance, reliable calorific value, and economical fuel efficiency for commercial and industrial operations. LDO Black is preferred in sectors requiring cost-effective thermal energy generation and continuous fuel supply for heavy-duty applications.
