We are announcing an important and unique product. Triad Series 300 and 900 boilers with tankless coils have been matched with a unique dual-fuel burner that operates on 100% waste fry oil to create Domestic Hot Water and/or Space Heat for restaurants. This burner, fromINOV8 International, Inc. can be used with a variety of waste fuels (crankcase oil, glycerine, etc.) but the main focus is restaurants and waste vegetable oil. This is the smallest dual-fuel burner we've ever seen. It automatically switches to natural gas once the waste oil is gone, so onsite staff doesn't need to manually switch fuels. Restaurants are extremely interested because they have a free fuel source and can forget about their waste oil hassles - storing it, hauling it away, selling it, or whatever. These units also give these restaurants a one more way to showcase their operations as being "Green". Restaurants producing 40 gallons of used vegetable oil per week will see payback in as little as 2 to 3 years.Producing more oil will shorten this payback period. Read the article below from FCSI Magazine (Foodservice Consultants Society International) who featured this packaged system in their 2010 quarterly publication. The founder of INOV8, Harry Foust, has an engineering degree from MIT and several patents on this product, which is a highly modified Riello burner. He's been continually improving the technology for 20 years, and last year the burner with our boiler was tested and approved by ETL to ANSI standards.
Test units are currently in Buffalo Wild Wings and Perkins Restaurants and experiencing great results, two other large national chains are ready to do live tests, and a third, one of the largest in the world, is currently analyzing it for a possible test. Also this boiler/burner combination has been heating Inov8's facility and the founder's home on waste fry oil for over a year now, with virtually no residue in the combustion chamber.INOV8 prefers Triad's boiler due to its combustion chamber size and water-backed design, small vertical profile, and ease of cleaning & maintenance. As you can see, this unit is a perfect fit for restaurants and the institutional markets, such as school cafeterias and nursing homes to name just a few.
