Most commonly, kerosene heating oil (also known as paraffin, 28-second oil or kero) is used for industrial heating, commercial boilers and off-road machinery. The pale, yellow or clear fuel oil has a lower viscosity and lower freezing point than gas oil and is favoured for its clean-burning properties, efficiency and versatility when compared with alternatives, such as red diesel.
Our kerosene fuel is a hydrocarbon-based fuel derived from crude oil, which has been strictly refined to meet UK and European standards. The production process involves distillation, hydroprocessing and blending in order for it to meet industry standards for home heating and industrial requirements.
Reasons Companies Choose Kerosene Fuel
Companies select kerosene fuel for its versatility in heating, lighting, and industrial processes. It provides practical advantages such as a long storage life and high efficiency. Kerosene is suitable for numerous commercial applications, offers enhanced safety due to its higher flash point compared to petrol, and produces lower emissions thanks to its low sulphur content.
