What does MAZUT mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A heavy, viscous fuel oil left over after crude petroleum has been distilled.
Mazut is the thick residue that remains once the lighter, more valuable fractions of crude oil, such as gasoline and diesel, have been removed by distillation. Because it is dense and slow to burn cleanly, it is mostly used as an industrial fuel for power plants, ships, and heating systems rather than for vehicles. The term is especially common in Russian, Eastern European, and Middle Eastern energy industries, where it is also spelled mazout.
