EN590 10 PPM Diesel Fuel

1. Product Overview

EN590 10 PPM Diesel Fuel is a low-sulphur automotive diesel fuel designed to meet the European EN 590 fuel specification, with a maximum sulphur content of 10 parts per million (ppm). It is used to power diesel engines in commercial vehicles, transportation fleets, industrial equipment, generators, and other diesel-powered applications. Its low-sulphur formulation supports modern engine performance, helps reduce sulphur-related emissions, and is compatible with appropriate exhaust after-treatment systems. As a widely traded petroleum product, EN590 10 PPM is an important commodity for fuel distributors, energy suppliers, and industrial consumers seeking dependable fuel supply.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Product Name: EN590 10 PPM Diesel Fuel
• Fuel Grade: Automotive diesel, EN 590 specification
• Sulphur Content: Maximum 10 mg/kg (10 ppm)
• Composition: Refined petroleum hydrocarbons, predominantly middle-distillate fractions, with properties dependent on the refinery and applicable specification
• Appearance: Clear to yellowish liquid, subject to batch characteristics
• Density at 15°C: Typically 820–845 kg/m³, subject to the applicable EN 590 requirements and delivered grade
• Flash Point: Minimum 55°C under EN 590 requirements
• Viscosity at 40°C: Typically 2.0–4.5 mm²/s under EN 590 requirements
• Cetane Number: Minimum 51 under EN 590 requirements
• Cold-Flow Properties: Seasonal grade dependent; winter and arctic requirements vary by destination and climate
• Packaging and Delivery: Bulk tanker, road tanker, or approved petroleum-product vessel, subject to order volume and logistics arrangements
• Shelf Life: Storage life depends on storage conditions, contamination control, and fuel stability; periodic quality checks are recommended
• Origin: Country of origin and refinery documentation to be confirmed for the specific supply lot

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Road Transportation: Fuel for diesel-powered trucks, buses, vans, and commercial vehicle fleets.
• Logistics and Distribution: Supports freight transport, delivery networks, and long-distance haulage operations.
• Industrial Operations: Powers compatible diesel engines and mobile machinery used in industrial facilities and construction.
• Power Generation: Used in compatible diesel generator sets for backup and operational power, subject to equipment requirements and local regulations.
• Agriculture: Supplies diesel-powered tractors, harvesters, and other agricultural machinery.
• Fuel Distribution: Suitable for licensed fuel distributors, importers, wholesalers, and service-station networks.

Its low sulphur content supports compliance with applicable fuel-quality requirements and helps protect compatible exhaust after-treatment systems. Performance and suitability depend on the engine manufacturer’s specifications, fuel quality, and local regulatory requirements.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality Consistency: Batch-specific quality certificates and independent inspection can support verification against the agreed EN 590 specification.
• Supply Reliability: Bulk procurement arrangements can support distributors and industrial users with planned fuel requirements, subject to confirmed availability.
• Logistics Capability: Bulk transportation options can be coordinated according to destination, terminal access, shipment size, and applicable import requirements.
• Commercial Competitiveness: Pricing can be structured around order volume, prevailing petroleum-market conditions, delivery terms, and destination costs.
• Operational Efficiency: Suitable for compatible diesel engines requiring low-sulphur automotive diesel, supporting efficient fleet and equipment operations.
• Environmental Considerations: Lower sulphur content helps reduce sulphur oxide emissions compared with higher-sulphur diesel, although overall emissions depend on the engine and emissions-control technology.
• Technical Documentation: Relevant documentation may include a Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), certificate of origin, and independent inspection report, subject to availability and contractual agreement.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): Bulk 20 MT
• Loading Capacity: Dependent on vessel, tanker, transport regulations, and loading terminal; final capacity to be confirmed for the selected shipment configuration.
• Supply Terms: Subject to product availability, destination, agreed specifications, and contractual terms.
• Quality Verification: Product specification and supporting documentation to be agreed and verified before shipment.
