Diesel EN 590 10 ppm

Diesel EN 590 10 ppm

Diesel EN 590 10 ppm is a type of diesel fuel produced according to the European diesel standard EN 590. The "10 ppm" designation indicates that the maximum sulfur content in the fuel is 10 ppm (parts per million). This indicates that the fuel is environmentally friendly and has low emissions. Here are the properties and usage areas of Diesel EN 590 10 ppm:

Properties

1. Low Sulfur Content:

   • The sulfur content is a maximum of 10 ppm.
   • This low sulfur content makes the fuel less harmful to the environment and helps meet emission standards.

2. High Cetane Number:

   • Typically, the cetane number is 51 or higher.
   • A high cetane number ensures more efficient and cleaner combustion of the fuel.

3. Filtration Properties:

   • Optimized for the filtration of particulate matter and other impurities.

4. Cold Flow Properties:

   • The fuel is formulated to maintain its fluidity in cold weather conditions, with a specified cold filter plugging point (CFPP).

5. Energy Content:

   • High energy content enhances engine performance.

Usage Areas

1. Land Vehicles:

   • Used in cars, trucks, buses, and other diesel-powered land vehicles.
   • Suitable for a wide range of vehicles from passenger cars to heavy-duty vehicles.

2. Marine Vessels:

   • Used in marine vessels, especially in areas subject to environmental regulations.

3. Agricultural and Construction Equipment:

   • Tractors, harvesters, and other agricultural machinery.
   • Excavators, bulldozers, and other construction equipment.

4. Heating Systems:

   • Used in some heating systems, particularly where low emissions are required.

5. Industrial Use:

   • Used in generators and industrial engines.

Environmental and Legal Compliance

• Emission Standards:
  • Complies with European Union emission standards, fulfilling environmental obligations.
• Health and Safety:
  • Reduced sulfur content and cleaner combustion reduce harmful emissions, contributing to better human health.

Diesel EN 590 10 ppm is designed to meet the requirements of modern diesel engines. Its low sulfur content results in a reduced environmental impact and compliance with stringent emission standards, making it a preferred choice for various applications.
