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.
