Mineral Hydrocarbon Oil (MHO) is a refined petroleum product in the Light Diesel Oil grade range, widely used as an industrial heating medium and burner fuel. It functions as a practical substitute for LDO in many industrial heating contexts and is valued for its consistent flash point and controlled viscosity. MHO is commonly used in textile processing, dyeing units, and general-purpose industrial furnaces.
