Biodiesel Heater Rental Choose the green option that suits your event heating requirements
April 29 2008
Watkins Hire Events are an events temperature control rental company after 149 years they continue to innovate, the latest innovation from Watkins Hire is their new BioDiesel site heater for carbon neutral temporary heating.
There's been a lot of talk about whether biodiesel is green or not recently. A lot of people have been understandably shocked to realise that not all biodiesels have credible green credentials. Sustainable Bio-diesel, which is derived from used cooking oil, is a sustainable, cleaner burning alternative to fossil-diesel. Watkins have developed the heater to help their clients minimise the impacts on the environment, they are the first heater hire company to develop a temporary site heater that operates on locally sourced 100% sustainable bio diesel manufactured to EN14214 standard.
The BioDiesel heater has several unique features and makes all other site heaters either redundant or very archaic and outdated.
A unique feature of the Watkins BioDiesel site heater it is the 1st site heater available in the European rental market to fully comply with all EU legislation for fuel storage and transportation, the heater comes with an incredible 1000-litre bunded fuel tank which is integral to the heater which provide the hirer with 54 hours of operation before refuelling is required. The site heater has been rigorously tested and is certified by UN to comply with ADR & PPG2 and PPG26 all this simply means the heater is the only heater available on the market that can be legally delivered to site full of fuel.
Caring about the environment is not just about using BioDiesel instead of fossil fuel diesel, or ensuring full compliance with fuel storage and transportation, Watkins have shown their true commitment to their clients and the environment by fitting the BioDiesel event heater with a time clock for unattended operation allowing timed starting and stopping the heater, to provide further environmental control the heater can be supplied with a wireless thermostat that has a range of 200-metres.
When developing the BioDiesel site heater another form of pollution was considered by Watkins, the noise level from this heater is incredibly quiet in operation @ 63dbA @ 3m
No detail has been left to chance with the environmental credentials, even though Biodiesel is rapidly biodegradable and completely non-toxic, meaning spillages represent far less of a risk than fossil diesel spillages. The area below the burner has a drip tray to catch any possible leaks. To further prevent leaks the integral bunded fuel tank is fitted with an overfill protection alarm that alerts a fuel delivery driver that they are close overfilling the fuel tank.
