Waste Oil Heater Forum - Your definitive source for burning waste oil for heat.

Greetings Marvin!

Thanks for stopping by and becoming a member.  It's great to see people from all over the globe learn and contribute to the site.

Enjoy and stay safe!

Hey Russ, thanks for the welcome. 

It is indeed a nice site to learn from and contribute to.  Most other sites are focused on WVO.  This one is geared towards burners which is nice.

Okej.

Try it?

No, sir, but I will definitely update you when I do.  It'll be at least two months till I get the burner, etc.

However, the centrifuge sites you've posted have really grabbed my interest.  I will be getting into that in the future, buying a centrfiuge and working on oil.

Yea, that one is  expensive and hard to find, Bigger ones is easier to find. The one im using is from an old ship.

Here is new ones and not so expensive. I dont know if thay clean as good? But its mutch better than a regular filter.

Hello Sir, thank you again for the reply.  These are real interesting sites.  If you know any more similar sites, please keep them coming 

However, the filter I mentioned in my initial post is actually a magnetic filter.  Please see below specifications:

TECHNICAL AND OPERATION
FEATURES
This kind of filter is suitable for "wasted oil" filtering, which
is  to  be  used  as  fuel  for  burners  properly  studied  for  this
particular function.
The  particular  features  of  this  filter,  the  high  adaptability
and  the  safe  reliability    confirmed  by  several  years
experience, allow to fit this filter to all equipments which use
wasted oil.
Made of simple and solid construction, this filter forces the
oil  to  follow  a  particular  circuit,  which  we  underline  the
characteristics of:

1. Filtration made through one strainer filter ; decantation of
eventual water traces.

2. Magnetic filtration  through one filter n.1 which allows one
perfect  separation  of  all  ferrous  impurities    conteined  in
the oil.

3. Mechanical filtration through one lamellar filter (filter n.2)
which allows the final filtration of all impurities.
The cleaning of this filter is carried out by simply turning
the  hand  wheel  placed  outside  on  the  filter,  even  if  the
plant  is  in  function.This  characteristic  offers  economic
and  practical  advantages.  Therefore,  one  electrical
heater constantly connected with the electronic control of
the temperature, keeps the oil fluid for an easier filtration.

Also, I actually checked with the pump manufacturer and burner manufacturer, and they said it is okay.  However, the heating temperature will need to be set at 60°C. 

I attached pics of filter specifications.

Hello everyone,  nice to be posting here.

I'm planning to set up heavy fuel burner to run waste oil.

Waste oil is known to damage the burner heater and the pump, so i intend to use this filter from guiliani anello ( FOEX25 Mod.: 7050103M )

Any advice, ideas? 

Thanks in advance!

I found this site while browsing looking for information on waste oil burners.

Very excited to be here and looking forward to gain info and try to contribute whatever possible.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
