KEY ENVIRONMENTAL SAVINGS
Energy saving
- More than 93% reduction in gas consumption
- Extremely low energy consumption per ton produced: 10 tons requires approx. 8 kWh - previously ~1962 kWh
- It only requires 3 kWh of energy to operate, which can be generated from solar panels and can run from a 25 amp socket with adapter
Sustainability
- Prevents the creation of high energy consumption in the first place, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions
- Thousands of tons of product can be made with a simple plug, ultrasonic unit and solar panels
- Compatible with renewable energies – e.g. solar or wind energy
- Less load on the national electricity grid - reduces dependence on gas/diesel
- Equipment is recyclable
Reduced waste
- Lack of heat during production means less chance of damage to the blend - reduces the chance of waste
- There is no need to heat the base oil or mixing vessel, therefore thinner metal or even plastic tanks can be used
- Low minimum mixing volumes - JIT delivery for low volume lines = less potential waste
- Only a low amount of base oil is required to flush the system between blends, reducing the amount of waste oil produced
Environmental and sustainability benefits
- Can help a company achieve carbon neutral lubricant production from the source and processes, NOT through offsets - as evidenced by an energy audit
- Significant cost and carbon footprint reductions help companies achieve their own environmental and sustainability goals
CUSTOMER QUOTE
“To evaluate the savings to the environment, we have now saved over 26k tonnes of carbon emissions since using the process and heated the equivalent of over 144 homes in the UK for a year. Our gas consumption has been reduced by just over 93% and we continue to expand the use of the Blendtek technology within our business.
This exciting breakthrough is all about changing the environmental impact of lubricant manufacturing in the first place. So many environmental schemes and businesses look to offset their impact by using “carbon dumps or sinks”, and other environmental and climate protection projects. We have instead, found a way that prevents the creation of high energy use in the first place. We are immensely proud of this manufacturing innovation, and we believe we are the first lubricant manufacturing company in the world to blend in a carbon neutral process.”
