Kerosene Production Cost Reports

Kerosene production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Kerosene production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Kerosene. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc. 

Kerosene is a hydrocarbon liquid derived from petroleum that is mainly used as a fuel. It’s produced in a distillation tower where crude oil is distilled in the refining process. 

It looks like a pale yellow or colourless liquid. It's a mixture of hydrocarbons typically consisting of around 10 different hydrocarbons, each consisting of 10 to 16 carbon atoms per molecule. Its chemical composition is relatively complex, including naphthenes (40.9%), a mixture of paraffin (55.2%), and aromatic hydrocarbons (3.9%). It is less volatile than gasoline, with a flash point of 38 °C (100 °F) or higher, making it a safer fuel to store and handle. It is among the so-called middle distillates of crude oil with a boiling point between 150 and 300 °C. It has many advantages, like safety with a lower risk of carbon monoxide poisoning; being less expensive than gas; more environmentally friendly; and having a long shelf life since it's non-corrosive and stored in a suitable tank which is stored under dry and controlled conditions.

Kerosene is employed for burning in kerosene lamps and furnaces or domestic heaters, as a fuel (being a major component of aviation fuel, over 60% of the fuel) and also in jet engines. As a solvent, it is used for insecticides and greases. In addition, it finds use as an oil in central heating systems and also as a cleaning agent. Although its usage has lowered, it is still widely used in developing regions for cooking, heating, and lighting applications. It works like a great substitute for solid fuels, biomass, and coal and works great in places with limited or no access to electricity. Hence, its usage in various end-uses can boost the market growth.
