105-621: Is a low-quality heavy fuel oil , used in power plants and similar applications in Iran and some countries of the former Soviet Union. In the West, through fluid catalytic cracking , mazut is distilled into diesel and other light distillates. Mazut may be used for heating houses in some parts of the former USSR and in countries of the Far East that do not have the facilities to blend or break it down into more conventional petro-chemicals. Mazut

140-416: Is a refinery residual product, that is, products left over after gasoline , diesel , and other light distillates are distilled from crude oil except, unlike bunker fuel, mazut is produced from much lower grade feedstocks. The main difference between the different types of Mazut-100 is the content of sulphur. The grades are represented by these sulfuric levels: Very-low-sulphur mazut is generally made from

175-509: Is active since c.1900. Two wells were drilled in the 1930s, one kilometer apart, both reaching the same spring at the depth of 469 m (1,539 ft). One well was arranged as a spa, while the other was an unregulated water well called Cevka ("small pipe"), even used by the local farmers for their cattle. In 2017–2018 Cevka was urbanized and arranged as a proper spa, too, with pools. Spas, hotel, and health care center form one health and touristic complex spreading on 20 ha (49 acres). Water

210-577: Is burned in Iran to compensate for the shortage of natural gas but it has caused environmental problems, such as huge amounts of air pollution in big cities such as Tehran . Mazut-100 is a fuel oil that is manufactured to GOST specifications, for example, GOST 10585-75 (not active) or GOST 10585-2013 (active as per December 2019 ).

315-566: Is separated from Sava by the embankment ( dolma ) with promenade. Present forests developed after the area was cut clean in 1941 and 1942, and are mostly short-lived sprout forests of low quality. More quality groves of pedunculate oak and narrow-leafed ash , once omnipresent and dominant in the entire Sava valley, are preserved for its genetic importance. Also dwindling is the presence of other species of higher quality, like silver poplar , grey poplar , European white elm , field elm and European wild pear . Autochthonous species are threatened by

350-459: Is typically used for larger boilers in producing steam, since the energy value is high. The most important factor when grading this fuel is the sulfur content, which can mostly be affected by the source feedstock. For shipment purposes, this product is considered a "dirty oil" product, and because viscosity drastically affects whether it is able to be pumped, shipping has unique requirements. Much like No. 6 fuel oil ( Bunker C ), mazut

The bridge is constructed in the style of

525-645: The Natural History Home. There is also a game hunting ground "Posavina" in the municipality. On the location of the old landfill along the Kolubara river, an arboretum was planted on 1.4 ha (3.5 acres). It contains over 600 plants from 40 deciduous and 20 coniferous species, both autochthonous and allochthonous (China, Japan, Korea, America), including an orchard with old, Serbian varieties. Species include paulownia , metasequoia , larch , taxodium , liquidambar , koelreuteria , sweet maple , poplar , willow , ash and oak . The arboretum

560-622: The New Belgrade heating plant to the city exit and 8 km (5.0 mi) of pipes were laid down. It was then decided that the project is unprofitable, so the pipes were take out and the canal was covered. Majority of the heating in Belgrade is provided from the imported natural gas, while the additional heating in times of necessity is provided by the mazut which will be banned from the European Union in 2021. The TENT would fill

The forest is one of the rare remaining autochthonous high forests in the floodplains of the Sava and Kolubara river. It influences the microclimate and mitigates the bad aftermaths of the Obrenovac's high level of industrialization. The area was protected on 29 November 2013 and covers 47.77 ha (118.0 acres) and

700-477: The carrier for the district heating pipeline, hence the closeness to the power plant.), The foundation stone was set on the Obrenovac side in 1994, during the mayoral tenure of Nebojša Čović , and it was supposed to connect the plant with the New Belgrade . In 1997 the project was changed to include the possibility of transporting tanks and other military technics and then the idea was expanded to include

735-401: The circling around amount to 90 km (56 mi). The bridge shortened the trip to only 10 minutes. The completion of the bridge revived the idea of the district heating, which was behind the idea of the bridge in the first place. Originating in the late 1970s, some works, so as the construction of the bridge, began in the 1990s: a 4.3 km (2.7 mi) long concrete canal was built from
