Waste Oil Burner

TMD Enterprises has developed a burner that is able to burn any grade of waste oil. It can be used to convert any regular oil furnace into a furnace able to burn waste oil. This burner includes many features that make it more attractive than burners that are available commercially. Some of these features are:

  • the burner produces 150-200,000 BTUs (more if desired)

  • smoke free combustion

  • it is virtually maintenance free - no messy filters to clean

  • it will burn any grade of oil

  • fully automatic operation - comes with all safe guards

  • it is recognized to be safe by fire insurance companies

  • it has a low assembly cost

  • components are readily available

  • we have many satisfied customers

We at TMD Enterprises have put over two years of research and development into this design. What we have arrived at is a state of the art burner that enable any existing oil furnace to be converted into a waste oil burner. The conversion is straight forward, and no special tools or expertise are required. The first prototype has been heating our workshop for over nine years, and we have had no problems with it. The environment department is very much supporting our burner type, and for this reason we are able to get more than enough oil at no cost. In the future we will be paid to pick up the oil!

This product will be of particular value to farmers, ranchers, repair shop service centers, waste disposal grounds, and incineration sites. It can also be used to heat your swimming pool or outdoor hot tub. Of course, virtually everyone could find a use for such an economical heating source. The total investment could be recouped in less than a month of heating! Compare that with commercial waste oil heaters that cost thousands of dollars, and do not work as well.

Plans, instructions, component lists, and sources are available for only $50 (USD or CND). Please make your cheque or money order payable to TMD Enterprises, P.O. Box 1812, Winkler, MB R6W 4B6.

Used oil furnace

Through a series of events, I met Ted Dyck who farms at Winkler, Man. In or around 1987, Ted converted an oil furnace to burn waste oil. He's used the furnace since then to heat his house and shop, almost for free. Ted gets used oil 2 ways - some he picks up, some people deliver. From his website www.TMDenterprises.ca, I pulled off a few more details:

Ted says if you already have an automatic oil furnace, you don't need many parts. The electronic parts and thermostat stay. He changed the pump and nozzle and not much more. If you don't have an oil furnace, ask around, advertise or whatever and you might find a good one cheap. At his place, Ted has the oil furnace in the shop, so it's heated all the time. He bought a boiler, hooked it into the oil furnace and piped hot water 200' underground to his house. There, he put the A frame coils from an air conditioner into his furnace and hooked up the hot water lines so his furnace blows warm air. For summer, Ted runs cold water through that coil to cool the house. Thanks, Ted.
