Drip fed waste oil heating build waste oil heaters for sheds, workshops, homes, aircraft hangars, spa pools and pools.

We even have a couple of heaters drying firewood.

We have them in 20 and 40 foot container batches where there's no power running, totally off grid off 12 volts, heating, and heating water.

I do strongly believe that, burning our waste oil cleanly for heating today, is far better than storing it for the next generation to clean up.

Otherwise, this so called stored oil, in leaking drums, is just destroying our waterways, our flora, fauna & wildlife, and is definitely not the way forward for 2018

Wth the cost of recycling waste oil, really is the only option for most business today.

We have concentrated our efforts towards the 45 kg heaters, because the 19kg cylinders are almost impossible to get our hands on. 

So your better to have more heat than you need and run it on low than not enough.

I've been running this heater above all day heating the house,

Radiator is operating at 80C or 176F

Room temp whole top level 24 degrees and cost 12 volts 5 amps maybe $3.00 if that.

The waste oil controller looks after the oil delivery and temperatures.

Smoke levels nil all day.

There are many business which service trucks, cars, tractors, machinery and service centres who end up with a constant flow of waste oil. This costs business's thousands of dollars in oil recycling, let alone the storage costs of holding this oil onsite for collection, when the waste oil could be transformed into heating the business, saving thousands of dollars not only in recycling costs, but in heating bills.

Amagine your workshop/service centre, warm all day rather than freezing cold, and really saving you money while heating the business, this alone would get staff to work on time and straight into working.

The hole business would be more productive.

Our 45 kg heaters burns 1.2 -1.5 litres an hour, so one 44 gallon drum would burn for 140-175 hours, and saving $52.00 a drum in recycling costs. They operate from a laptop charger 240 volt /12 volts 5 amps. Or we have a adaptor for 12 volt battery available now.

2 weeks of free heating per drum.

If you would rather we burn your waste oil, then we accept clean full 44 gallon drums delivered, no more that 10 drums at one time please

or clean full 20 litre containers.

We ask that your oil is straight oil being; car, truck, tractor, plane, hydraulic, transmission oil, brake fluid, not mixed with petrol, diesel or coolant.

The petrol makes it volatile, the diesel makes it smoke, the coolant puts the heater out. 

We finally tested the prototype gasifier and it worked, it didn't blow the neighbourhood up which was good, we had a couple of leaks in the gas tube which didn't help. The gas burnt cleanly at first then as it increased flow black smoke started coming off it, so that says to me, the gas needs scrubbing and cooling before lighting. We also got alot of wax from it which is also flammable, I thought it would have been more oil but it sets as wax would, and it's cream in colour and burns cleanly for quite some time a 1/2 teaspoon full burnt for five minutes. 

Apart from the paint burning off the cylinders the smoke levels where excessive at times because we didn't sandblast the cylinder, and the wood must be abit damp. Now our collection for the plastic wasn't very big, we put 1 milk bottle,1 coke bottle 1 drinking bottle, meat tray, and plastic film, a few Resene test pots x 5 and three or four plastic bags and sealed it off. It kept giving off gas for 2 hours. We opened it and there was wax at the bottom and a few little bits of paper charcoaled in the base, this would have been the stickers on the plastic.

So after this test our thoughts are we need to move towards something the size of a 44 gallon drum but thicker steel to be able to get taps and pipes fitted to it, and a sealed lid, a copper coil to cool the gas, and a 75mm pipe filled with pot scrubbers to clean the gas.

a fan and an exit pipe for the gas to be burnt off or compressed into cylinders for home heating.

We could use the waste oil rather than smokie wood to heat the plastic.

Plastic in a cylinder the size of a 44 gallon drum would give off gas for 5 hours approx.

So if there's anyone out there who would like to help either by donating the tank or tanks or more knowledge than we have worked out,

anything at al would help. Without help we can't go ahead with this plastic gasification although someone needs to. 

I'd also like to add dealing with used plastic isn't the nicest stuff to handle and it can stink.

Please fill out one of the forms to get in contact.

As we are into engineering and have worked out how to burn a waste product cleanly, and how to provide free heating or free energy, to the world, my interests are looking towards Plastic Biomass Gasification which is the breakdown of the structure of plastic, back to the oil and gas of which it was made. We are looking at the basics first like heating plastic to 700 degrees in a seal vessel until it splits with the use of waste oil for the heating process. If your interested in this little venture and would like to be included.

Or even if you have knowedge about council bylaws.

China is building these big plants, but I still don't think their big enough.

I think Councils should be looking into this now. They are gasifying plastic, rubber and heating turbines which are generating electricity brillant. We have this stigma about burning anything which is holding progress back.

Ideally this is what we need, but it comes down to huge amounts of money. 

We have built a small gasifer to test if we are on the right track, we will start with wood and then move to plastic, we will make a short video to show our findings, If the prototype works then we'll look into building a home version where it could be purchased.. 

email us using the form below if this intrests you..

The wood fired heater/cooktop. Will be converted to a waste oil cooker soon, as we don't have any firewood except pallets which honestly is a hassle to cut up compared to oil. The wood fired heater $495.00 currently on www.trademe.co.nz

The waste oil fed heater with oil controller and blower burner unit $850.00

The waste oil heater with oil controller and blower burner unit, and copper coil for water heating. $1199.00

Drip Fed Waste Oil Heating, supplies waste oil heater parts, worldwide, however it's mainly to the USA, Canada, Australia, Scotland, and New Zealand, and a lot go to the South Island of NZ, we are open to orders from the rest of the world too, so please don't feel you've been left out in the cold, we'll work out the freight cost for you.

We're offering free freight on some items in our parts section, but allow 2-3 weeks for delivery, rather than the paid freight option, which is five days to the United States.

Burning waste oil, the thick black choking smoke has been reduced to nil, and now in 2018 is a extremly efficient clean burning free fuel straight from the drum, as in the video above shows, and capable in heating almost any area you put the heater into.

Cleaner burning than today's wood fires.

Twice the heat output of a wood, diesel or coal.

And the best bit IT'S FREE.

YES FREE HEATING. UNHEARD OF.

With the help of our electronic waste oil heater controllers with the thermostat, have made waste oil heating very safe.

There's no more fluxuations in the temperature anymore.

The dual timer controls the upper temperature so the heater now sits at 500c or what you decide set it at.

And the thermostat looks after the lower levels should anything ever happen, it will turn the oil & heater off.

So now we light the heater never needing to check on it's progress, and turn it off via the mobile app at night or let it heat all night too.

So my suggestion is don't buy a waste oil heater without a digital controller.

Or if you have a waste oil heater, get yourself a controller for your own safety because without one we all know, waste oil heaters operating only on gravity are very dangerous.

To give you an example, to heat our 3 bedroom two storied home throughout the year, we will burn 3-4 drums of oil per year, which equals 

around 820 litres, this saves us over $800.00 in 45 kg LPG bottles or propane per winter.

This is achieved with the waste oil heater setup outside the home, heating water in a small 7 metre copper coil, which thermosyphons up to a 2.5 metre x 500mm double skinned radiator situated inside our lounge, this radiates a constant heat output of 75-80 degrees c. 

As the water cools in the radiator, it falls back down to the heater to be reheated, and sent back up to the radiator which completes the loop.

There is no pressure build up in the closed loop.

Correction on the no pressure build up, I lit the heater today to show a customer how it works, and noticed two small water leaks from crox fittings in the hot water loop. Didn't think too much about it at the time, and 10 minutes later bang, one of the crox joins pulled apart leaking hot water out of the loop onto the concrete floor.

So what happened

The air had sucked in through the leaks which built up pressure in the loop.

So after a lot of emails back and forth, and lots of plumbing help form a recent fire/building inspector/customer from the council. Thankyou C

We purchased an Ajax Valve and a relief valve, with a 3.7 metre head after plumbers advice too.

The Ajax valve connects to the mains water supply keeping the loop full of water.

The Ajax valve controlls pressure in the loop, and the head of water on the relief valve.

So should water pressure increase in the loop, it will exit out, and the mains water supply will automatically top up with the small amounts of water which exits the loop, keeping the loop always full.

We have since been told that these pressure relief valves can and do fail, so we have removed it, and gone with the open 4 metre tall open vent.

The whole radiator is hot, which heats the house beautifully, to the point where it needs turning down in the evenings.

The timer oil pump, is operating at between 14 and 6 second delay, and pumping oil for 1 second.

One twenty litre  now lasts all day or 2-3 nights heating.

This heater burns clean.

The thermostat has been fitted, should the fire or in our case the water temperature ever drop below 40 degrees C the thermostat will kick in and turn the oil pump off, stopping oil spills. You should alway have your heater sitting in a cut down drum capable in holding the same amount of oil as your storage tank ideally 20 litres.

These heaters can either radiate heat, or they can heat water too.

Once you start heating water you start dealing with pressures which get very hot and extremely dangerous, so you will require a

 Licensed Qualified Plumber to make your system safe.

We do not want anyone making potential pipe bombs with stupid plumbing errors, which can go wrong very quickly, and end up scolding yourselfs. 

So please take our advice.

USE A PLUMBER 

They are very expensive, and they charge like wounded bulls, but it's still better than scolding family members.

Most Council’s require that ALL PLUMBING work MUST be carried out by a qualified licensed tradesman. I would either suggest that the purchaser find out, or we'll find out for you, their local Council’s requirements. Some Councils  allow homeowners to carry out limited plumbing work of a minor nature, this is a Government authorised statute in law. From memory there are only 4 or 5 local authorities that have this statute.

All our waste oil heaters can operate up to approximately 800 C cleanly, however we recomend 400-600 degrees celsius, with these temperatures we recommend to install fire safe surrounds, whether that be brickwork, suitable tin sheeting, or hardie board with a 20mm gap between the wall so air can flow behind the sheet, and 20 mm off the ground and the heater setup 500 mm away from any fire proof surface you have constructed.

This heater has been fed too much oil, showing the chernobyl effect.

These heaters in these videos have since been painted black

Thank you Jim
