The agricultural industry is facing a unique set of challenges. EnergyLogic builds products to help ensure agricultural professionals around the world don’t have to worry about climate control, waste oil disposal, and high resource prices. Maintaining the temperature for livestock and produce farm buildings is essential, as is finding an environmentally responsible and affordable method for doing so. Agriculture experts need reliable heating and hot water solutions capable of consistent performance in one of the most demanding industries and unpredictable environments.
Farmers usually work with large machinery, resulting in the production of waste oil. Proper disposal and recycling can seem like a chore, but it is imperative for anyone working with waste oil to always dispose of it properly. However, there’s another option. Why not turn your agriculture waste oil into a heat source? When you use an EnergyLogic waste oil system, you employ an environmentally responsible method for disposing of waste oil and saving money on gas for heating and hot water.
The Value of Waste Oil in Agriculture
Most farm buildings are far too large for standard, residential grade heating and cooling solutions, this is especially true when you have temperature extremes. Proper disposal and recycling of waste oil can seem like a chore, but it is imperative for anyone working with waste oil to always dispose of it properly. Unfortunately, many farms are not realizing the full value of their waste oil.
Waste oil is an incredibly valuable resource! In fact, waste oil generates more energy than #2 fuel oil and has nearly twice the energy value of coal. To give you a better idea of what that means, approximately one gallon of waste oil = 18 kWh of electricity. That’s enough electricity to run the average household for around 15 hours. Thanks to advancements in technology and EnergyLogic’s continued commitment to innovation, burning waste oil in an approved waste oil heating system is an environmentally friendly way to capture the full value of your resource.
There are many benefits to burning waste oil, including:
- Saving thousands of dollars on heating bills
- Getting consistent, high-performance heating, and hot water
- Reusing waste oil on site provides added convenience
- Reducing the environmental impact of waste oil spills and waste oil ground pollution
High-Tech, Environmentally Friendly Waste Oil Heating Systems
EnergyLogic is the leading provider of high-quality waste oil systems in the US, boasting over 40 years of experience in the waste-oil combustion industry. All products are designed and manufactured in the USA to exacting standards. EnergyLogic used-oil burners are UL tested and rated for:
- Used crankcase oil 5w-90w (including synthetic)
- Used automatic transmission fluid
- ASTM D396 No. 2 fuel oil (including Diesel)
EnergyLogic’s waste oil heating systems are unmatched in terms of quality and clean burning technology. A patented metering pump provides consistent, reliable fuel delivery, regardless of fuel type, without manual adjustments. EnergyLogic’s patented flame retention head is designed for complete combustion, which offers two big benefits: First, you get the highest heat output–double the heat rise compared to the competition. Second, you get the longest maintenance interval, due to a flame so hot it incinerates most impurities, leaving less ash to clean. Finally, the Beckett chassis and AccuTemp preheater runs fuels from No.2 to 90 weight and a stainless steel heat exchanger is lighter, better at heating, and is far more resistant to warping and weld breakage.
