Is anthracene oil suitable as fuel oil?

I’ve noticed that some companies use anthracene oil as a heating fuel for tubular furnaces during natural gas shortages; I’m not sure if this is cost-effective. Which sea friend’s company also uses this? Let’s discuss it together.

It’s a bit luxurious! The price of fuel oil is lower than that of anthracene oil.

It’s possible to do that; the heat output is high, which meets the requirements of industrial production. However, a significant amount of carbon deposition occurs after combustion. By mixing anthracene oil with asphalt before burning, the combustion costs can be reduced. The mixture can be prepared in any proportion depending on the heat required, but it’s better to use more anthracene oil. More carbon deposition occurs when the mixed material is burned, so it needs to be cleaned regularly.

In our factory, oil (including anthracene oil) is used in combination with gas; gas is the primary fuel. The drawback is the need to use both oils and gas together

That’s too generous; nowadays, anthracene oil costs 4000 already, which is more expensive than tar. Can’t even buy this anymore.
