IGNITE OIL
Ignite Oil is a type of fuel oil derived from the processing of waste plastics and tires through pyrolysis. Here’s a detailed description:
| Category | Property / Item | Value / Description |
|---|---|---|
| Production Process | Pyrolysis | Waste plastics and tires are heated in the absence of oxygen to break down polymers into oil, gas, and carbon black. |
| Properties | Density | 0.85-0.95 g/cm³ |
| Viscosity | 2-5 cSt (centistokes) | |
| Flash Point | 60-80°C | |
| Sulfur Content | 0.5-1.5% | |
| Ash Content | 0.1-0.5% | |
| Calorific Value | 42-45 MJ/kg | |
| Color | Dark brown to black | |
| Composition | Aromatic Hydrocarbons | 40-60% |
| Aliphatic Hydrocarbons | 20-40% | |
| Naphthenic Hydrocarbons | 10-20% | |
| Asphaltene | 5-10% | |
| Uses | Industrial Fuel | Power generation, cement production, and industrial boilers |
| Marine Fuel | Bunker fuel for ships | |
| Diesel Fuel | Blended with diesel to improve performance | |
