naphthenic types and it also contains smaller amounts
of organic compounds containing sulphur, nitrogen
and oxygen, as well as low concentrations of organometallic
complexes, in particular of vanadium and
nickel. Olefins are rarely found in crude oils.
Crude oils – flammable
Description: Crude oil consists predominantly of
hydrocarbons of the aliphatic, aromatic and
naphthenic types and it also contains smaller amounts
of organic compounds containing sulphur, nitrogen
and oxygen, as well as low concentrations of organometallic
complexes, in particular of vanadium and
nickel. Olefins are rarely found in crude oils.

Crude oils – low flammability
Description: Crude oil consists predominantly of
hydrocarbons of the aliphatic, aromatic and
naphthenic types and it also contains smaller amounts
of organic compounds containing sulphur, nitrogen
and oxygen, as well as low concentrations of organometallic
complexes, in particular of vanadium and
nickel. Olefins are rarely found in crude oils.

Fuel oils
Description: Fuel oils are blended products based on
the residues from various refinery distillation and
cracking processes with flashpoints above 60°C.
Fuel oil streams contain saturated, aromatic and
olefinic hydrocarbons, mainly in the carbon number
range C 9 to C 50 . The boiling ranges of these streams
are approximately 160°C to 600°C and they may
contain 4 to 6 ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
In addition, as they include residual streams, they may
also contain low concentrations of heavy metals such
as vanadium and nickel.

Fuel oil manufactured from waste lubricating oil
Description: A complex combination of hydrocarbons
obtained by subjecting used motor lubricating oil to
various treatment processes to remove heavy metals,
additive components, water, sludge, solid particles and
volatile fractions. It consists predominantly of
hydrocarbons having carbon numbers in the range of
C 20 to C 40 .
The oil shall meet the following specification:
Lead: (100 parts-per-million maximum)
Arsenic: (5 parts-per-million maximum)
Cadmium: (2 parts-per-million maximum)
Chromium: (10 parts-per-million maximum)
Total halogens*: (1,000 parts-per-million
