Calculated according to the formula specified by the American Bureau of Standards.

,• 1Btu/lbm = 0.55 kcal/kg.

• 18500 Btu= 10175 kcal/kg (Gross calorific value)
In reference to table 01, necessary parameters are indicated as "adopted standar�s,, in the State
of
Eritrea for supply of FUEL Oil by petroleum corporation of Eritrea (Sole state supplier) This specification
will help the manufacturer to review The Kiln performance and reduce the quantity of furnace oil
consumption in calcinations of lime. In addition, we kindly ask the manufacturer to specify the thermal
efficiency of their kiln technology in order to calculate the accurate fuel consumption to produce (�ors
to 85t of quick lime per day) production.
