New BJE Kaltey Commander Tank Controller Keeps the Heat On

The engineers of Husky Corporation and BJE know that saving time and recycling will also mean saving money. With the use of waste oil burners and tank controller monitoring systems, businesses have an excellent way to recycle waste oil. Waste oil furnaces reduce energy costs and eliminate expenses for shipping and proper disposal of used oil. Many industries, including service and fueling industries, rely on waste oil burners to heat their facilities, generate hot water, provide electricity and help the environment.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established rules that allow burning used oils for energy recovery. The regulations indicate that if the oil is acceptable, the emission will be acceptable. Meanwhile, each state has its own set of regulations on waste oil disposal. But waste oil burning can actually be considered to be a “new energy” source if the conversion takes place using an environmentally sound furnace. While this is efficient and environmentally friendly technology, it can take valuable time to monitor waste oil levels and refill furnaces as needed. 

The Kaltey Commander Tank Controller brings together technologies to eliminate manually monitoring and refilling day tanks that supply waste oil heaters with fuel. BJE engineers designed a float switch mechanism that alerts a control device when the day tank level is low. The design features visual and audible alarms to warn of potential problems and includes the ability to test the system for proper continuous operation. This saves valuable time for the business and frees up the crew to perform more important tasks.

Husky Releases Low Permeation Hose

Husky Corporation now offers EagleFlex Low Permeation Hardwall Gasoline Pump Hose, which reduces the diffusion of fuel through the hose wall. A number of states now require gasoline dispensing facilities to install low permeation hose along with the rest of its fueling products as an added measure to control air pollution. 

Low permeation hoses, like the EagleFlex Hardwall, meet UL 330 requirements. The standard considers permeation to mean fuel that would be lost through the flexible hose, fuel loss at the fittings, and fuel loss at the connection between the hose assembly and the dispensing equipment. To be designated as low permeation, gasoline would diffuse at a rate no more than 10 grams per square meter per day.

The hose tube is made with black nitrile. The cover consists of Chlorinated Polyethylene, reinforced with multiple textile braids with dual static wire helix. It can withstand temperatures -40F to +180F and is recommended for all gasohol blends, diesel, leaded, unleaded gasoline, E15 Ethanol and B-20 Biodiesel where low permeation is required. The EagleFlex low permeation hose is available in three diameters (.625 in, .75 in, and 1 in), designed for durability and flexibility. 

It is possible that even more states will consider mandating low permeation fuel hose as an additional step to control air pollution. That is why Husky continues to grow its reputation as an innovator that readily adapts to an evolving industry.

Revolutionary Wireless Tank Monitoring by Enevo

Revolutionary Wireless Tank Monitoring by Enevo Enevo, a Finland-based wireless sensor network provider, and Husky Corporation have established a strategic partnership to create a revolutionary tank monitoring alarm system. By using state-of-the-art sensors, Enevo is able to innovate the way fuel, petroleum products and other liquids get delivered to tanks. This becomes convenient for distributors as the new technology is able to analyze the activity in each tank and learn the pattern of usage, creating an optimized service route for the tanks that need immediate attention. The system is so advanced that it can suggest the amount of product needed at each location. 

 

Enevo Sensors and their Practicality

The highly durable Enevo sensors are specifically designed to withstand harsh environments. This tank monitoring alarm system uses a hard rubberlike polymer from a proprietary mix of polyurethane; the electronics are molded inside the tank. This results in level measurement that saves time, money, and expended fuel when compared to using the traditional route-based service schedules that are commonly practiced today. Only the tanks that require attention receive it.

 

 

 

Services and Features Included

The sensors are both easy to install and use. The hardware and software are reliable, using sonar technology to monitor the level in the tanks while transmitting the data over 2G/3G networks. The viewing of levels, forecasts, and optimal routes for collection or delivery is made possible by an online dashboard. Some of the service features included in the tank monitoring alarm system are as follows:

• Urethane-molded sensors make a reliable, no-contact-needed way of measuring liquid.

Aviation Fueling Hose Measures

Handling fuel or chemicals is critical and potentially dangerous. It is important to take into consideration the quality of the materials, tools, and products that will be used in handling these chemicals not only for the handler’s health safety but for the smooth flow of the operation and process as well. When you purchased aviation fueling hoses and you noticed that you received the incorrect size hose assembly, this could lead to additional downtime causing lag in the process and operation workflow. At the very least, you will likely incur a restocking charge and more paperwork in addition to the delay.

The Proper Measure

In order avoid these untimely problems in the operation, learn to identify the Inside Diameter (ID) of the existing aviation fueling and/or defueling hose. The first step is to look at the serial number on the fittings of both end of the hose assembly. Hewitt aviation hoses are marked with either “HH XXXXX” or “HS XXXXX”. If you cannot identify the number, Hewitt, a division of Husky Corporation, is always open for you to call so we can check our records for a copy of the hose certificate. For hoses that are more than 10 years old, serial numbers are usually not available. Follow these assessments on your aviation fuel hose to see if you received the proper size of hose:

For instances where no serial number can be found, use at least two of the following recommended processes to validate the hose ID needed for ordering the correct size hose assembly.

• Check the embedded lay line on the hose. Hewitt aviation hoses show the size in the embedded lay line.

Example: HEWITT AIRCRAFT FUELING HOSE 2 INCH / 50 MM NFPA-407 ……..

• Identify the marks on the ferrules by checking the fittings. Ferrules should have the size markings visible. The list below shows typical markings.

• Measure the Outside Diameter (OD) of the hose at an area that has not seen significant wear. Compare your findings to the chart below. 

 

• Measure the OD of the male pipe thread at its widest point. Compare your findings to either column 1 or 2 of the NPT pipe sizing chart below

By following the methods listed, you can remove the mistakes of ordering the wrong size hose. Calling Hewitt is also an option to address your questions and concerns about aviation fueling products, hoses, and accessories at 800-325-3558.
