Clean Burn®, manufacturers of energy systems that transform used motor oil into free heat, has introduced a new company website at www.cleanburn.com. The interactive site includes an innovative “Compare” feature that encourages visitors to compare the components of Clean Burn units to those found in converted fuel oil furnaces, factory-direct furnaces and blast tube furnaces.

“The Compare Section of the site has callouts that identify different aspects of Clean Burn products as compared to those found in alternative machinery,” says Morris Mantey, president and CEO of Clean Burn. “You can physically see the difference in the heat exchangers, burners, and pumps to gain a clear understanding of the components of these valuable pieces of equipment and how Clean Burn products are built to provide years of service.”

The clean, fresh design of the new Clean Burn site makes it easy to navigate between product information, tips on selecting the right furnace for the right setting, product manuals and environmental information. The site also includes sections with product warranties and registration details, a worldwide distributor locator and videos on using used motor oil furnaces and boilers.

Engineered to burn used motor oils generated by cars, trucks, heavy equipment, boats and other vehicles, Clean Burn waste oil heater products are manufactured in the United States and can transform used-oil into free heat. More than 80,000 Clean Burn furnaces and boilers located throughout the world burn millions of gallons of used-oils 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.

LEOLA, PA – Employees at the 25 Five Rivers MetroParks facilities in the greater Dayton, Ohio area feel like they’ve struck gold – black gold. They’ve recently started collecting used motor oil from service vehicles that maintain the system’s nearly 15,000 acres. They’re recycling the used-oil to generate heat for their offices and workshop. The environmentally friendly effort has spurred neighboring businesses and residents to contribute their used oil to the earth-friendly action.

According to Dave Spitler, assistant park manager, he was searching for a better way to heat buildings other than using wood-burning stoves. “There was a big cost factor in man hours to have staff members cut and split wood for the stoves,” says Spitler. “The Clean Burn furnace that we’ve installed is an economical and ecological solution for Five Rivers MetroParks.”

Used oil storage tanks now collect hundreds of gallons of recycled motor oil from the park’s 99 fleet vehicles, 98 small motorized vehicles (including Gators and lawn mowers), as well as community contributions. After being refined, the oil is pushed through a filter and pre-heated. Then the oil is injected into the Clean Burn furnace and burned at 1,800 degrees. The high temperatures create low emissions (less than one percent allowable by EPA standards) and generate enough heat to warm the park’s 2,400-square-foot facility.

Prior to obtaining the Clean Burn system, the park hired contractors to haul away and dispose of used oil. That costly process had the potential for environmental damage through spills and used more fossil fuels for transporting the waste oil. The furnace saves labor hours from the cutting of timber and provides an environmental, on-site system for recycling used motor oil.

“I’ve sent oil recycle barrels to all MetroParks facilities to collect their used oil,” says Spitler. “Each park saves money since they no longer have to pay anyone to properly dispose of the oil. We bring the full barrels to the central furnace area and replace them with empty barrels. This is a sensible solution that would be viable for other parks nationwide to adapt in order to save money and close the loop on recycling efforts.”

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.

LEOLA, PA – Clean Burn, the leading manufacturing of used-oil furnaces and boilers, has capped off its 30th anniversary year by receiving the “2009 Save Energy Now Energy Saver” award by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Industrial Technologies Program.

The Energy Saver award is presented to those companies that participate in a Save Energy Now energy assessment and successfully achieve more than 75,000 MMBtu total energy savings or more than 7.5 percent total energy savings. One of the unique aspects that made Clean Burn eligible for this award is that the company heats its 125,000 square foot manufacturing facility with recycled used-oil through the company’s boilers and furnaces. The company does not use any electricity or natural gas for heat.

“The used-oil furnaces and boilers we construct are dedicated to saving energy, so it makes perfect sense that our manufacturing facility should have a similar goal,” says Ryan Gamber, engineering manager for Clean Burn. “We worked with an energy consultant to assess key industrial process systems and identify cost-saving opportunities. By implementing the recommended actions, Clean Burn has taken the necessary steps to help reduce our nation’s energy use and shrink our carbon footprint.”

Save Energy Now is a national initiative to reduce industrial energy intensity 25 percent or more in 10 years. Companies nationwide can partner with DOE, participate in no-cost energy assessments, and use ITP’s proven resources to reduce energy use and improve efficiency, while increasing profits.

In 2009, ITP awarded 140 plants for making significant progress in implementing the energy savings opportunities identified through a Save Energy Now energy assessment. In total, the award recipients achieved more than $47 million in cost savings and 6.4 trillion Btu in total energy savings.

There are 80,000 Clean Burn functional furnaces and boilers located throughout the world that burn 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.

LEOLA, PA – Transporting temperature-sensitive liquids just got easier. The new Clean Burn® Transport Heater creates a constant temperature environment for valuable cargo.

“This is a true ‘problem/solution’ scenario,” says Morris Mantey, vice president for marketing and sales for Clean Burn. “We were contacted repeatedly by trucking companies hauling perishable and sensitive materials that need to have a consistent trailer temperature. The problem was that, due to EPA restrictions, trucks can no longer idle longer than five minutes. And, when the truck is powered down, the contents of the trailer can become too cold.

“From this problem scenario we created a solution. The 45 TH – Transport Heater operates on diesel fuel. So, if a driver is carrying a load of chemicals or perishable liquids in freezing weather he can turn the engine off and the Transport Heater kicks in to keep the trailer contents warm to a specifically set temperature. The output of hot water can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of the cargo, assuring a consistent and safe temperature.”

The programmable thermostat has a “sleep” mode and is positioned behind the cab in a stainless steel box. The 92.5 pound unit has a heat output of 45,000 BTU/hour and consumes less than a half gallon of diesel fuel an hour. Range of permissible ambient temperature operation goes from -40 degrees to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The unit has an output temperature available from 100 degrees to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

“Without a doubt, the Transport Heater provides a more efficient type of operation than running a truck engine constantly to heat or cool the trailer and its contents,” says Scott Ewell, in charge of fleet maintenance for H.R. Ewell, Inc. “We’re using Transport Heaters as an economical and environmental solution to the challenge of keeping cargo contents safe.”

A third generation trucking company, H.R. Ewell has 140 tractors and 300 trailers that transport bulk food products throughout the United States from their home base in Pennsylvania. “One of the most frequent products we transport is liquid chocolate to companies like Hershey’s® and Mars, Incorporated, manufacturer of M&M’S® Chocolate Candies,” says Ewell. “The Clean Burn Transport Heaters allow us to keep the chocolate at 120 degrees so it doesn’t harden in the trailers. There are huge fuel and truck maintenance savings to be had by using the Transport Heater over idling a truck. And, at the same time, with its fail-safe features, this cost-saving system is simple to operate.”
