Complete precision heat and control solutions for the growing demands
of the alternative fuels industries.
Biodiesel Production
Biodiesel is a clean-burning alternative fuel produced from domestic,
renewable resources. Chromalox circulation heaters, tank heaters,
heat trace cable, and control panels are all used in the biodiesel
production process. Each step requires critical temperature control
that is able to be delivered through electric heat. The final biodiesel
product contains no petroleum, is biodegradable and nontoxic, and
can be used in conventional diesel engines with little or no modifications.
Ethanol Production
Ethanol is mainly known as an alternative fuel for gasoline-powered
vehicles. Production involves the processing of various chemicals,
water, and mixtures that must be held at exact temperature, then
pumped to processing stations. Chromalox heat trace cable, tank heaters,
and controls are used to maintain tank and pipeline temperatures
during production. Once completed, the ethanol product can then be
shipped for final processing that may include beverages, gasoline,
or industrial use.
