Industrial Diesel Oil (IDO) is a blend of diesel and heavy fuel oil and is mainly used for heating, generating power and water/steam boilers in small industrial and hospitality applications. The main advantage of IDO is the lower price over diesel.
IDO sold in Kenya must meet the following critical parameters: Kinematic viscosity @ 400C of 10 cst maximum, pour point of 150C maximum, sulphur content of 1.8% maximum and a gross calorific value of 44.8MJ/kg minimum.
