Many businesses use oil and produce waste oil as a by-product of mechanical and industrial processes. This waste oil must be disposed of properly and this usually means additional costs for transport and disposal. However, if a business has a large enough supply of waste oil then it may be possible to benefit from a used waste oil heater. This not only disposes of the oil without having to pay potentially expensive disposal costs but it can be used to heat a particular space or area.
The first thing to consider is the physical size of the used waste oil heater. It is possible to find compact versions as well as considerably larger. Generally, the larger the heater, the more heat it gives off and the greater volume of waste oil that can be burned at a time but you should consider the area in which it will be utilised to determine the most suitable dimensions.
Some existing heaters and even hot water systems will cope with a used waste oil heater being retrofitted to the system. This negates the need to have a brand new heating system installed but still offers the benefits of waste oil disposal combined with being environmentally friendly and offering a means of heating a space or heating a water system at less cost than paying for traditional energy sources.
Alternatively, a new heating system can be fitted that will include a day tank in which to store the oil and the burner itself to burn the oil and create heat. The system will need to offer access so that it can be maintained and regularly cleaned otherwise the system will suffer poor efficiency and it will not burn the oil as well or as routinely.
A used waste oil heater can prove a highly effective means of disposing of waste oil that you would otherwise have to pay disposal costs for. Burners can be used to dispose of a large range of used oils including vegetable oil, mechanical oil, and engine oil which makes them a useful addition to business of many different types and with various requirements.
