RAP for Cold Recycling
LDO is largely an industrial fuel. It is used by various industries in their manufacturing activities for the purpose of generation of heat and power. It has been used since a long time for such purposes and has gained much importance and inevitable value. It is an effective fuel alternative for varieties of furnace & boiler applications.
