Industrial Heating Oil FAQs

Industrial Heating Oil (IHO) is a specialised fuel designed for commercial heating applications, offering a high calorific value and efficient energy production. Unlike diesel, IHO is tailored for use in boilers, heaters, and dryers, providing a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative without the need for expensive equipment modifications.

IHO is ideal for a variety of buildings requiring space and central heating, such as apartment blocks, educational institutions, hospitals, government buildings, hotels, factories, and commercial establishments. It ensures a stable and efficient heating solution, especially during colder months.

Yes, while heating oil and diesel may share similar physical properties, IHO is specifically formulated for heating purposes. It’s not suitable for mobile or stationary plant machinery but excels in heating applications due to its winter-grade formulation and efficiency.

Industrial Heating Oil is used to generate heat in industrial boiler plants across various sectors, including food and beverage manufacturing, dairies, distilleries, animal feed mills, and in processes requiring drying and commercial heating like grain dryers, metal processing, and tarmac manufacturing.

IHO is an extremely stable fuel with a low pour point, making it a reliable winter-grade solution. It includes a multi-functional additive for system cleanliness, corrosion protection, and combustion chamber deposit control, which prevents issues like microbial contamination or waxing that can clog pipes and lead to equipment failure.

IHO offers more heat output for less money due to its higher calorific value compared to standard diesel. This translates into significant savings, especially when purchased in bulk. Compass Fuel Oil, as a leading IHO supplier, we offer competitive pricing and swift delivery within 24-48 hours.
