RON is the octane measure used globally and it's more efficient to produce and certify. 95 RON is roughly equivalent to 91-octane on the anti-knock index currently used in the United States. Unlike 91 premium fuel, 95 RON would not be a niche product reserved just for luxury cars.

Generally, fuels with a higher octane rating (e.g. RON97) are used in high-compression engines that have higher performance. Higher octane fuels are used for motor vehicles with higher compression ratio. As a general guideline, RON97 is usually recommended for motor vehicles with an engine capacity 2,500cc and above.

Aviation Kerosene Colonial Grade 54 Jet Fuel JP 54: Jet fuel A-1.Jet fuel designed for use in aircraft powered by gas-turbine engines. It is clear to straw-colored in appearance. The most commonly used fuels for commercial aviation are Jet A and Jet A-1 are produced to a standardized international specification. Jet fuel is a mixture of a large number of different hydrocarbons.

Gasoil (Diesel or D2) is a group of petroleum distillation products having boiling points between Lubricating Oil and Kerosene. The term originally referred to the product of oil gas works that was added to the product of coal gas works to produce improved illuminating gas. Small molecules like those in Propane, Naphtha, Gasoline for cars, and Jet Fuel have relatively low boiling points, and they are removed at the start of the fractional distillation process. The principal difference between GASOIL and D2 is the content of sulphur.



Gasoil Diesel (D2) is an abbreviation for Gas oil. It is the second distillate from the processing of crude oil. It can be used without reformers and additives. D2 has helped in a major reduction of wasted energy, pollution and waste. It can be used without reformers and additives.

Liquefied natural gas is natural gas that has been cooled down to liquid form for ease and safety of non-pressurized storage or transport. It takes up about 1/600th the volume of natural gas in the gaseous state. LNG is odorless, colorless, non-toxic and non-corrosive.

Light Cycle Oil (LCO) is a diesel boiling range product from Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units (FCCUs). Production of LCO is increased in the FCCU by employing medium conversion mode rather than using traditional low conversion mode. Low conversion mode will cause a loss of gas production, deteriorate petrol octane rating and also increase the production of low valued slurry oil. With medium conversion technique both gas quality and quantity is maintained and improves the petrol octane rating. Medium conversion mode also reduces the amount of low valued slurry oil. Slurry oil contains LCO boiling range material in it; hence a separate slurry oil stripping tower is employed to recover the LCO from slurry oil.

EN 590 is the current standard for all automotive diesel fuel sold in the European Union member states and other European countries. This fuel grade is also called Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD).
