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). 2 Likes |

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 |
