As most businesses would have seen, day-to-day operations are starting to have to be worked on differently due to the adverse weather conditions that the Winter months have brought on. Whether you are in the agricultural, haulage, construction, or marine industry, heating oil is crucial for your operations and is one of the most important things that you need to have in order if you wish to be successful during the cold months. Read on to find out more about IHO and why it is beneficial for your business to have this Christmas.
What is Industrial Heating Oil?
Industrial Heating Oil (IHO) is a cheaper, yet-effective more alternative to Gas Oil for all heating applications. If you use Gas Oil to ensure your business is warm and not for combustion engines, IHO could save you a lot of money. Winter not only brings the festive period but also a period of extreme frost and minus-degree weather, meaning that you have to use more heating oil than what you are used to. Costing less than gas oil and free from increasing government fuel levies, IHO prides itself in saving money for businesses from a number of industries. Using Oilfast UK’s industrial heating oil is an extremely smooth transition, as we have made it so that no modifications are required.
What is in it?
Oilfasts industrial heating oil is extremely useful for all businesses as IHO:
- Compliant with BS2869 Class A2 (except for Cetane Value) – The British Standard for heating oil.
- Has a similar calorific value as Gas Oil and offers similar heating output at a fraction of the cost.
- Ensures that there are no burner modifications, meaning that it has the same physical properties as Gas Oil.
- It is so similar to Gas Oil that there is no need to break your back trying to empty your fuel tanks before changing to IHO.
- Low CFPP/pour point allows year-round summer/winter performance.
- Reduced sulphur content lowers acidic flue gas emissions by up to 50%.
- Contains FAME/bio-diesel free, in turn reducing the possibility of a bacterial attack on the already stored fuel.
- Light colour, low odour, sediment-free, and much cleaner than some commercially available products.
Is it worth it?
If you are still unsure about whether this product is for you, here is a list of benefits that come with industrial heating oil. Price: The most noticeable, and probably the most important to a large number of businesses, the overall costs of this product are cheaper than regular oil, thus, the overall savings they are able to accumulate each calendar year are great. Businesses are also fond of the little modification that is required from them, meaning that the transition is smooth. IHO also offers the same energy output but at a lower cost. Furthermore, there is less risk of plant failure, and the product has a reduced chance of waxing during the winter months if you choose this gradient.
