  • Publication number: 20150198329
    Abstract: A system and techniques for oil combustion are provided. The system includes a storage container for separating one or more contaminants from strained oil via gravity separation to produce segregated oil; an oil uptake channel for entraining a layer of the segregated oil from the storage container; a fuel regulator for controlling rate of flow of the segregated oil from the storage container as an input stream to a burner head via the oil uptake channel, wherein the fuel regulator comprises a pump motor speed control; and a burner head control for repositioning a burner head under the segregated oil input stream to produce a controllable amount of heat output.

  • Patent number: 9033698
    Abstract: A system and techniques for waste oil combustion are provided. The techniques include straining waste oil, separating contaminants from the strained waste oil to produce segregated layers of waste oil, selectively drawing a segregated layer of the waste oil, entraining the drawn waste oil to a burner for combustion, and regulating flow rate to produce a controllable amount of heat output. The system includes a container for straining waste oil, a storage drum for separating contaminants from the strained waste oil via gravity separation to produce segregated waste oil, an oil uptake channel for entraining the waste oil from the storage drum, a fuel regulator for controlling rate of flow of the waste oil from the storage drum to a burner head via the oil uptake channel, and a burner head control for repositioning a burner head under the input stream to produce a controllable amount of heat output.
