LDO
is a blend of distillate fuel with a small proportion of residual oil. It is formulated
keeping the need of agriculture sector in mind. It is primarily recommended for
diesel engines, generally stationary type, operating below 750 rpm. It is also
used as a fuel in furnaces and boilers. LDO is used mainly in the following applications:
-
agriculture pump sets with low rpm.
-
generating sets
-
furnaces and boilers which require low sulphur fuel oil. As
it is placed between the middle distillate and the residual fuel, some of the
properties like pour point, kinematic viscosity, sulphur percentage and carbon
content are less than residual fuel but more than HSD. It conforms to IS:1460-2000,
