What is LPFO used for?

LPFO, or Low Pour Fuel Oil, is primarily used as a fuel in marine and industrial applications, particularly in large engines and boilers. Its lower viscosity and better flow characteristics at lower temperatures make it suitable for use in colder environments. Additionally, LPFO is often utilized in power generation and as a backup fuel source due to its efficiency and performance. It is valued for its ability to provide a stable energy source while minimizing emissions compared to heavier fuels.


How much does lpfo cost per liter?

Typically, prices can range from $0.50 to $1.00 per liter, but it’s essential to check current rates from local suppliers or market reports for the most accurate information.


How many litres of low pour fuel oil make one ton?

It depends on which LPFO you are talking about. This is because the density of the product determines its weight. For Nigerian LPFO, available from Nigerian Oil Services, the specific gravity of this D6, low pour fuel oil is about .9189 - .8397. That means it is lighter than water so it takes more of it to make a metric tonne. There 1000 liters of water in a metric tonne so you would divide 1000 by .85 (average) and you get about 1176 liters in a metric tonne for Nigerian LPFO. You can use this same formula if you have the specific gravity of the fuel you are trying to buy. I am assuming by the word tonne you meant metric ton because that is how it is sold, by the MT.
