Kerosene is a very versatile product. When in a very pure state and is used to power jet-engined aircraft (jet-fuel) and some rockets, it is known as Aviaition Turbine Kerosene (ATK). When it is used as a domestic fuel for lamps, stoves, cookers, and the likes, it is known as Household Kerosene (HHK). When the product can be adapted for use for both purposes, it is known as Dual Purpose Kerosene. (DPK).

Nice one........ But i kinda disagree with ur explanation

Most especially because the ATK can not be used for domestic proposes. It consist primarily of straight chain paraffins that can work smoothly on the jet engine. So i don't think a single kero stock can be use for Hhk and ATK
Secondly the hydrotreating process differs slightly for d ATK and HHK .*

I was privileged to work for some time in this refining section............. DPK=Normal/house hold kerosene, while ATK /ATK =jet feel...... As it is popularly distinguished. I may be wrong shall
