Company Overview
Fact Sheet | Company History | Environmental Information
Clean Burn is the world's leading manufacturer of heating systems that burn used oil. The company’s hot air furnaces and hot water boilers provide the most economical, environmentally responsible solution for the on-site recycling of used motor oils and petroleum-based fluids. Facilities that generate used motor oil use these systems to lower their operating costs by generating “free heat” while significantly reducing their oil management liabilities.
Headquartered in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Clean Burn is a privately-held company that was founded in 1979. The company’s facilities include a state-of-the-art engineering, testing and manufacturing plant backed by a professional staff with unparalleled experience in sales, marketing and customer service.
Clean Burn leads the industry in the research and development of heating systems that utilize alternative, renewable sources of energy. Clean Burn products are sold and serviced through the most reliable, experienced network of distributors in the industry.
Clean Burn has played a leading role in helping establish standards and regulations related to heat recovery and recycling efforts involving used motor oil throughout the world. In the United States, Clean Burn works closely with the U.S. government and the Environmental Protection Agency. Throughout Europe, Clean Burn is actively involved in associations dedicated to setting standards for used motor oil recycling.
There are approximately 80,000 Clean Burn furnaces and boilers in the worldwide marketplace burning millions of gallons of used oils each year. A Clean Burn customer who burns 1,500 gallons of used motor oil each year typically realizes a two-year payback on their Clean Burn system, while reducing the liability related to the transportation and disposal of the used oil. Every gallon of used oil burned for heat recovery saves money that a Clean Burn customer would otherwise be spending on natural gas, propane, fuel oil or electricity.
