Take Control of the Situation

Did you know that reprocessing used motor oil into fuel for heating and cooling is the most common method for recycling used oil in the United States? That’s what the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports in its guide “Developing a Used Oil Recycling Program” which can be found at this link: http://water.epa.gov/polwaste/npdes/swbmp/Developing-a-Used-Oil-Recycling-Program.cfm 

Used motor oil can be burned in specially designed furnaces for heat or in power plants to generate electricity. Automotive shops and others have been doing this for years. It saves money and helps the environment at the same.

If you are thinking about joining the trend, or if you are looking for a way to take better control of your existing waste oil furnace, BJE has a solution. The Kaltey Commander Tank Controller brings together technologies to eliminate manually monitoring and refilling tanks that supply fuel so waste oil furnaces, waste oil boilers, and used oil recycling centers operate smoothly.





Kaltey: First Completely Automated System 

BJE engineers designed a float switch mechanism that alerts a control device when the day tank level is low. The control device activates a BJE 007 High or Low Tank Monitor that automatically starts a diaphragm pump to add waste oil to the day tank, then stops the pump at the proper fill level. Kaltey also has a second valve control system to protect against accidental overflows.

“This tank controller adds to the many benefits of reprocessing waste oil to generate heat. You no longer need to consciously keep track of the waste oil furnace and can be confident it will not run out of fuel,” said Husky Product Engineer Roger Wiersma.

Kaltey Commander can be used for other self-regulating fluid transfer applications involving oil, waste oil, diesel fuel, antifreeze, water and other fluids with a low flash point. The design features visual and audible alarms to warn of potential problems and includes the ability to test the system for proper continuous operation.
