Benefits
Free Fuel
The Phoenix-10 and Phoenix-40 run on waste (used) oil. In essence the fuel is free since it is a by product of facility operations. It has already served its intended purpose and has been previously expensed.
Low Emissions
The Phoenix gensets utilize external combustion engines. The fuel stays in the combustion chamber much longer than a internal combustion engine. This allows the fuel to be more throughly buned greatly minimizing harmful emissions into the atmosphere. A gasoline or diesel engine uses explosions to power the engine. These explosions last but only a milli-second which does not allow the fuel to be completely burned therefore exhausting more pollution. Our emmissions are esentially free of NOx and CO2 particulates.
no Ground water Contamination
Waste (used) oil is a contaminate. A very small percentage is actually re-refined and some is used for other purposes. Unfortunately a large portion is disposed of incorrectly or countary to regulatory requirements. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, waste oil from one oil change can contaminate 1 million gallons of fresh water. The Phoenix gensets eliminate waste oil as a potential contaminate by thoroughly and cleanly burning it in our combustion chambers.
Liability Eliminated
Cradle to grave liability and associated liability insurance costs are eliminated due to the fact that all of the waste oil is burned in our gensets. There is no need to have it disposed of in landfills or transported off site by third party collectors.
Year Round Use
Unlike waste oil heaters the our gensets can operate year round and in southern and western regions of the country. Since they produce electrical power rather than just heat they have much more flexibility in how they are used. In addition unlike wind or solar power, our gensets are not restricted by the lack of sun shine or air movement.
return on investment
Our gensets are designed to produce electricity that can be used to power operations or transfered back to the grid. Due to this reduced need for expesive electricity from the utility company we anticipate ,in most cases, a payback time of around 3 years and positive cash flow within 12 months. The ROI should be in the 30% range.
