OILS Lubricants have been in some use for thousands of years. The growth of lubrication accelerated in the Industrial Revolution with the accompanying use of metal-based machinery. Relying initially on natural oils, needs for such machinery shifted toward petroleum-based materials. In addition to industrial applications, lubricants are used for many other purposes.

Our lubricants generally possess the following characteristics + + + + + + +

A high boiling point and low freezing point (in order to stay liquid within a wide range of temperature) A high viscosity index Thermal stability Hydraulic stability Demulsibility Corrosion prevention A high resistance to oxidation.

GAS LPG is prepared by refining petroleum or ÂŤwetÂť natural gas, and is almost entirely derived from fossil fuel sources, being manufactured during the refining of petroleum (crude oil), or extracted from petroleum or natural gas streams as they emerge from the ground Awwal Oil Company supplies liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to individual and commercial consumers under the Awwal Oil brand. In Kenya, an increasing number of households are now using LPG as a source of fuel. Indeed, LPG usage is being encouraged by the government to replace non-sustainable sources of biomass, particularly in rural areas.

Uses of Petroleum TRANSPORTATION The entire transport system of the world depends upon petroleum. It has revolutionized the entire transport system be it road, rail, water or air transport. Petrol and diesel are the main sources of energy for all types of modern transport vehicles.

INDUSTRIAL POWER Oil is the major source of industrial power. Diesel and petrol are used in gas turbines to produce electricity.

HEATING AND LIGHTING Heavier oils are used in central heating plants for shops, offices as well as homes. Oil is also used to produce electricity for industrial and domestic use. The lighter grades of oil such as ‘kerosene’ are still used for domestic purposes.

LUBRICANTS Lubricants are very useful for all types of machines especially for the machines used in transport and industries. All types of lubricants and greases are produced from petroleum. Vehicles of all kinds and the vast range of sophisticated machinery in use in factories and offices rely on lubricants and would grind to standstill if they were not available.

PETRO-CHEMICAL INDUSTRY Both petro-chemical and chemical industries use petroleum by-products as raw material. Petro-products are used to produce chemical fertiliser, synthetic fibre, synthetic rubber, nylon, plastics, pesticides and insecticides, perfumes, dyes, paints, carbon black and sulphur, etc.

USE OF BY-PRODUCTS The crude oil is a mixture of carbon, hydrogen, impurities and few other components. The refining process separates various fractions of hydrocarbons and several by-products have been produced.

The most important products and by-products are petrol, paraffin, diesel, gas oil, and petro-chemical by-products – plastic, detergents, aviation gasoline, neptha, Mobil, grease, Vaseline, wax, butadiene, asphalt, etc. In fact, nowadays thousands of products are produced by petro-chemical combinations.
