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.

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.”

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 – When Auto Parts City opens the doors on its new 38,000-square- foot facility in Gurnee, Ill. this autumn, it will do so with a strong “double duty” dedication to recycling. In addition to the automobile parts and materials recycled everyday by the company, Auto Parts City will also recycle more than 24,000 gallons of used oil a year using state-of-the-art waste oil equipment from Clean Burn.

The waste motor oil, coming from the roughly 12,000 vehicles the company recycles yearly, will allow Auto Parts City to heat four different buildings on more than 19 acres of land throughout the cold Midwestern winter months. “We won’t pay a dime on outside heating costs in the future because we’ve invested in waste oil furnaces and boilers to transform waste motor oil into free heat,” says Jay Brosten, vice president of Auto Parts City, Inc. “The older Clean Burn furnace we had at our previous facility has successfully recycled our waste oil for the past 20 years with just regular maintenance. Now, as we grow our company, we’re growing our dedication to recycling the used motor oil we collect every day as part of our commitment to being good stewards of the environment.”

Joe Lewis, president and senior design engineer for Gleason-Elfering, has been working with Auto Parts City since July of 2008 to specify and install the new waste oil retrieval systems. “We’ve seen a dramatic increase in the Chicagoland area during the past decade in the use of waste oil recycling by companies,” says Lewis. “While this is the largest project we’re installing right now, we have bids out right now for other projects with dozens of Clean Burn furnaces. As they become more focused on the environment, Chicago area companies are definitely taking the steps to make recycling a part of their day-to-day activities.

“A decade ago Gleason-Elfering would sell about 20 of these furnaces a year. Now we’re selling almost 50 each year. Businesses are finally catching on to the idea that it actually saves them money to recycle used motor oil with Clean Burn systems rather than paying to have it hauled away.”

At the new Auto Parts City location, a variety of Clean Burn units are being installed this summer. Several boilers and furnaces will recycle used motor oil and provide radiant floor heating to the company’s used parts and tire, fluid evacuation, dismantling and maintenance buildings.

Used oil recovery is just one of the many recycling programs aggressively pursued at Auto Parts City. On a yearly basis, the company also processes and recycles approximately 18,000 tons of steel, 12,000 batteries, 48,000 tires and 36,000 gallons of gasoline. “We’re fully vested in growing our company into a state-of-the-art auto recycling operation,” says Brosten. “Clean Burn is helping us get there. They’ve been a successful ‘green partner’ of ours in the past and we’re looking forward to decades of used motor oil recycling from the new Clean Burn units we’re installing in our new facility.”

There are 80,000 Clean Burn functional furnaces and boilers located throughout the world that burn approximately 120 million 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.
