Furnace oil and bio-LDO were compared and furnace oil was found to have higher viscosity, ash content, carbon residue and sulfur content compared to bio-LDO. Adding an additive like SK-5L to furnace oil can reduce viscosity and sulfur levels, allowing it to be used as a replacement for bio-LDO. Suggestions to improve furnace oil combustion efficiency include emulsification with water, replacing the pressure pump with a gear pump, and using an electromagnetic valve for more precise fuel delivery. Furnace oil use could lower fuel costs by Rs. 241.6 per hour compared to bio-LDO.
