Top tips for winter operations

As the nights draw in, and we start seeing the first frosts of the year, businesses up and down the country are preparing for winter.

From choosing the right heating oil to managing your supply during a cold snap, we’ve got expert advice to help you through the season.

Therma35 for Farming

Therma35 is an ideal fuel for agricultural uses such as livestock shed and outbuilding temperature control, plus grain drying for optimal storage.

Provided you have a separate fuel tank for heating and drying uses, there is no reason not to explore the benefits of Therma35 for your farm due to increased cost efficiency as compared to standard 10ppm Gas Oil.

Therma35 FAQs

Industrial heating oil – available through Certas Energy under the brand name Therma35 – Therma35 is a highly cost-efficient drop-in alternative to conventional Ultra Low Sulphur Class A2 gas oil/red diesel.

Because it complies with government regulations for use in a range of commercial and non-commercial heating applications, it is already a highly popular solution across various sectors.

Industrial heating oil can be used for any heating purposes where gas oil would otherwise be used, without any modifications to equipment or machinery. It is restricted to use in heating applications only, and cannot be used for powering mobile or stationery plant or machinery. However, the heating applications Therma35 has to offer are diverse, including:

• Space heating and central heating; for example in apartment blocks, commercial buildings, schools, hospitals and site cabins

• Drying and industrial heating; for example in an agricultural context. This includes use in grain driers on farms, as well as for metal processing and tarmac manufacture

• Industrial boiler plant; powering various heat-related treatments that are required at food and beverage manufacture facilities, abattoirs, dairies, distilleries and animal feed mills.

Gas oil must contain specific levels of cetane in order to be suitable for use in modern diesel engines.
Because Therma35 is only permitted for use in heating applications, there is no need for the costly addition of cetane or sulphur removal. Industrial heating oil is therefore more cost-efficient to produce, while still remaining completely compliant. It also offers better value for every-day use, because industrial heating oil burns more slowly than standard gas oil.

A particularly important benefit of Therma35 is its stability and efficiency. Industrial heating oil is a winter-grade solution with a long shelf-life that is safe to store all year round, because it contains no bio content. Companies can therefore stock up in advance to ensure they are well-prepared when a cold snap hits, without worrying about spoilage due to microbial content, interruption or waxing. “Waxing” refers to the build-up of wax crystals in fuel that can clog pipes and therefore may lead to equipment failure.

Getting ready and stocking up in time for winter is especially important when it comes to heating oil: a sudden drop in temperature due to a lack of supply may not only disrupt production, but it can also severely damage equipment or even structures in the event of a burst pipe.

The great news is that the process of switching over to Therma35 need not be a complex one. It is a drop-in alternative that is entirely miscible with red diesel, so it not necessary to clean out or empty your gas oil tank before topping up with Therma35.

However, since Therma35 is only permitted for heating applications, it should only be mixed with gas oil that is to be used exclusively for heating purposes.

Certas Energy is here to help you fuel a more efficient, successful future for your business. Therma35 and kerosene are both readily available as part of an extensive portfolio of fuels, lubricants, additives and heating oils – everything you need to keep your business moving, the right way.

As the UK’s largest fuel distributor, Certas Energy has the unrivalled infrastructure to deliver regular supply of high-quality industrial heating oil in large quantities, serving customers across sectors and throughout the whole UK.
