They are treated mainly for reducing aromatic content to increase their smoke point (height of a smokeless flame) and hydrofining to reduce sulphur content and to improve odour, colour & burning qualities (char value). Kerosene is used as a domestic fuel for heating / lighting and also for manufacture of insecticides/herbicides/fungicides to control pest, weeds and fungi. Since kerosene is less volatile than gasoline, increase in its evaporation rate in domestic burners is achieved by increasing surface area of the oil to be burned and by increasing its temperature. The two types of burners which achieve this fall into two categories namely vaporisers & atomisers. The Indian Standard governing the properties of kerosene is IS 1459:1974 (2nd Rev).   Prices in Metros (Rs./litre) Applicable from: April 25, 2006 Delhi 9.09 Kolkata 9.30 Mumbai 9.05 Chennai 8.40 Previous Prices Specifications Download PDF Support Frequently Asked Questions for Industrial Consumers Contacts   Updated on February 15, 2008 GROUP COMPANY SITES: IndianOil Technologies Ltd | Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd | Bongaigaon Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd | IndianOil (Mauritius) Ltd Lanka IOC PLC | IndianOil Tenders home | about us | products | services | investor centre | people & careers | media centre | interface | RTI contacts Copyright © 2007 Indian Oil Corporation Ltd.  [ Terms of use | Privacy policy ]
