Kerosene

Petrochemical – Kerosene:

Kerosene, also known as paraffin oil, is a clear, flammable liquid distilled from crude oil, commonly used as a fuel for heating, cooking, and lighting. With a moderate boiling range and lower volatility than gasoline, kerosene burns more slowly, making it ideal for applications that require a controlled, long-lasting heat source. It is commonly found in household, industrial, and even aviation settings.

Applications:

• Used in portable heaters for home heating, especially in areas without access to electricity or natural gas.
• Used as fuel in portable camping stoves and in kerosene stoves in regions where electricity or gas cooking options are limited.
• Refined kerosene, commonly known as Jet A or Jet A-1 fuel, is used in turbine-powered aircraft due to its high energy density, stability, and performance at low temperatures.
• Kerosene is used in heating systems for drying, especially in construction (for concrete curing) and industrial facilities.
• Used in lanterns and cooking stoves on ships and small boats, especially in remote areas without electricity.
• Kerosene is a reliable fuel for lighting, heating, and cooking in disaster relief situations, where conventional fuel sources may be unavailable.
