Kleenburn Kerosene is a premium-grade, low-sulphur kerosene fuel engineered to deliver exceptionally clean combustion, reduced emissions, and high thermal efficiency. Compared to conventional kerosene grades, Kleenburn Kerosene undergoes advanced refining and additive treatment to significantly reduce sulphur, aromatics, and carbon-forming compounds.
This results in a smokeless, low-odor, low-soot fuel that is ideally suited for household heating, commercial appliances, and modern oil-fired industrial equipment where cleanliness, safety, and performance are essential.
Refining & Production Process
Kleenburn Kerosene is produced using multi-stage refining and finishing processes to ensure consistent premium quality.
Production Steps:
1.Atmospheric Fractional Distillation
Crude oil is distilled to extract the kerosene fraction within the 150°C–300°C boiling range.
2.Deep Hydrotreating / Hydrodesulphurization (HDS)
Advanced hydrotreating removes sulphur, nitrogen compounds, and aromatic hydrocarbons that contribute to smoke and odor.
3.Polishing & Fine Filtration
Final filtration eliminates trace particulates, moisture, and instability-causing contaminants.
4.Additive Enhancement
Specially selected additives are introduced to:
Improve ignition quality
Reduce carbon and soot formation
Enhance thermal stability
Protect burners and fuel systems
The outcome is a stable, low-aromatic, water-white kerosene with superior combustion performance.
