BioFuel - Fuel for the Future, Available Today
Looking for an alternative source for reliable energy?
Valley Proteins, one of the largest rendering companies in the United States, is now offering BioFuel, an alternative source of reliable energy made from rendered animal fat.
One of the first companies in the country to offer this energy alternative, Valley Proteins has burned this product in its own plants to prove beyond a doubt that BioFuel is a successful option for heating and emissions concerns.
An innovative solution from heating oil difficulties, BioFuel has been successfully approved for use in the following states: Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, North Carolina, Hawaii, Georgia, Minnesota, and Ohio.
As the word spreads about this energy alternative, other states are officially recognizing that this fuel source represents a practical heating oil substitute with a renewable supply.
Need a natural substitute for Heating Oil or Gas?
No alteration to the heating system is necessary when changing from Number 6 Heating Oil to BioFuel. In fact, BioFuel is completely interchangeable with Number 6. It can be mixed with Number 6 to produce a desired blend or delivered directly into Number 6 tanks without disrupting plant operations or creating additional maintenance.
In addition, with appropriate changes to boiler configuration, BioFuel is a reliable substitute for either Number 2 Heating Oil or Natural Gas.
Want an answer for sulfur emissions problems?
Whether used alone or as an additive, BioFuel has proven to reduce sulfur emissions (see Emissions Factor Comparison chart for further information).
