surroundings and harming human health. The PM released during fuel oil combustion is mainly composed of carbonaceous materials, such as soot and ash, as well as sulfur compounds, which are often present in fuel oil. These particles can range in size from a few nanometers to several micrometers.<\/p>\n<p>Although there is a growing trend towards cleaner and more sustainable heating sources, which are leading to a decline in the use of fuel oil boilers, these are still used particularly in areas with limited access to electricity or natural gas, such as rural or remote areas, namely islands.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Applications in Power Generation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Fuel oil boilers are used in industrial processes that require high-temperature heat and large amounts of steam, as fuel oil can generate high temperatures and produce a large volume of steam.
