Heavy Oil Residue

Heavy Oil Residue is a fluid byproduct created by refining Crude Oil into solid products. It can be further refined or be packaged into Packaged Heavy Oil Residue.

The most straightforward way to get rid of Heavy Oil Residue is to convert it to Petroleum Coke in a Refinery, allowing it to be automatically sunk in an AWESOME Sink or burned for power in a Coal Generator. Once the Fuel Generator is unlocked Heavy Oil Residue can be refined into Fuel and/or Turbofuel and burned for power. Other uses are listed below.

Heavy Oil Residue is part of the Fuel production chain. See Fuel for more info.

Tips

 * If the Heavy Oil Residue backs up, the primary product stops being produced as well. Therefore it's important to handle it properly and prevent it from backing up.
 * Besides sinking the produced Petroleum Coke, it can be sent into Coal Generators for bonus power instead (utilizing overflow splitters to only send the excess to the AWESOME Sink). Petroleum Coke is later used in Tier 7 for aluminum refining.
 * The Diluted Packaged Fuel and Turbo Heavy Fuel alternate recipes are great ways of utilizing Heavy Oil Residue for power generation.

Trivia

 * Despite having a MJ value, it is not accepted as fuel by the Fuel Generator, making it impossible to utilize its energy. However, while packaged, it is valid fuel for vehicles.
