Intro
In recent years, there has been a significant shift in the global energy landscape towards more sustainable alternatives. One such alternative is Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a renewable and low-carbon fuel that offers a greener solution to traditional diesel. As the demand for HVO grows, the need for reliable and efficient storage solutions becomes crucial. Carbery Plastics recognises this need and has developed a range of HVO compatible tanks that not only meet industry standards but also contribute to a more sustainable future.
Understanding HVO: A Cleaner Fuel Choice
HVO, is a renewable fuel made from vegetable oils, waste fats, and greases. It undergoes a process called hydrotreating, which removes impurities and transforms it into a high-quality, low-carbon diesel substitute. HVO offers several advantages over conventional diesel, including:
Lower Carbon Emissions: HVO can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% compared to fossil diesel, making it a valuable tool in combating climate change.
Cleaner Combustion: HVO burns cleaner, resulting in reduced particulate matter and lower emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx). This makes it an excellent choice for applications requiring strict emission regulations.
Drop-In Solution: HVO can be used in existing diesel engines without modifications and in domestic boilers with a small adjustment to the jets, making it a convenient and flexible alternative fuel option.
The Importance of HVO Compatible Tanks
As the use of HVO gains momentum across various industries, it is essential to have storage solutions that are specifically able to handle this renewable fuel. HVO has unique characteristics that require tanks capable of withstanding its properties, such as:
Compatibility: HVO is a highly refined fuel that can interact with certain materials, causing corrosion or degradation. HVO compatible tanks are manufactured using materials that are resistant to the specific properties of this fuel, ensuring safe and secure storage.
Durability: HVO compatible tanks are built to last, with superior strength and resilience. They can withstand the challenges posed by the fuel, including temperature variations and potential chemical reactions, ensuring long-term reliability.
Compliance: HVO compatible tanks adhere to industry standards and regulations, providing peace of mind to users. They are designed to meet or exceed all necessary certifications, such as EN 13341, to ensure safe storage and transportation of the fuel.
