A Clean Burn customer reduces the risk of spills and contamination to the environment, significantly lowers their fuel costs, and recoups their investment on the unit within a very short time.”
Now in its 13th season, How It’s Made can be seen worldwide on The Science Channel with repeat segments on both The Science Channel and The Discover Channel. The show is translated into 30 languages and features intriguing segments that showcase how different products are constructed.
“We’re excited to have our products and technology featured on the series 6, episode 15 show,” says Mantey. “We believe the segment will help us educate people about both the environmental savings and the substantial cost savings businesses can experience annually on their fuel bills by recycling used-oil.”
Typical businesses employing Clean Burn products to recycle used motor oil include automotive dealerships, automotive service centers, fast lube centers, truck fleet service centers, car washes, and operations using large agricultural equipment. Clean Burn products are also used in the industrial/marine industries, the recreation motor home industry and in waste management/pollution control industries.
“Any facility that generates used-oil on-site has the potential for significant savings with Clean Burn systems,” says Mantey. “The return on investment is tremendous and the reduction of risk to the environment is significant.”
Clean Burn Products
Based in Lancaster County, Pa. since 1979, Clean Burn manufactures a variety of heating systems to help small and large businesses recycle used-oil on-site, and to provide free heat while preserving the environment. Products available from Clean Burn include:
• Used-Oil Coil Tube Boilers recycle used-oil into hot water technology. The recycled used-oil generates hot water for use in car washes, baseboard heating, in-floor heating and ice melt applications. UL listed for use in central heating systems, the Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB and CB-500-CTB can be used in combination to create a boiler system for any facility.
• Low Profile Used-Oil Furnaces are ideal for small to mid-sized facilities and those with limited ceiling heights. These systems can be utilized as unit heaters or can be ducted as central furnaces. Hot air discharge louvers can be installed to direct heat precisely where it’s needed in a facility. Used-Oil Furnace models CB-1750, CB-2500 and CB-3250 comply with all EPA regulations and can burn a wide range of used-oil for free heat.
• Large Volume Used-Oil Furnaces provide high volume heating capacity for large facilities. These systems can be utilized as unit heaters or can be ducted as central furnaces. Used-Oil Furnace models CB-3500 and CB-5000 comply with all EPA regulations, feature unmatched engineering and quality construction, and employ a patented three-pass heat exchanger.
• Used-Oil Recycling Center is a self-contained, on-site recycling and heating system that allows businesses to store and burn used-oil conveniently and efficiently. The Recycling Center works in tandem with Clean Burn used-oil furnaces and has a UL-listed 250 gallon storage tank that supplies oil to the furnace.
There are 80,000 Clean Burn functional furnaces and boilers located throughout the world that burn millions of gallons of used-oil each year on-site, at the point of generation. This volume of used-oil would otherwise be transported on highway systems and pose a considerable risk to spills and/or contamination to the environment.
Clean Burn is an ENERGY STAR® partner. The company holds numerous industry certifications and works with the U.S. government, the Environmental Protection Agency and various associations to help coordinate the establishment of standards and regulations related to heat recovery and recycling efforts involving used motor oils.
