Commercial Heating Oil FAQs
Prema Heating Oil, also known as Prema 35, is a drop-in replacement for diesel and other industrial heating oils, specifically designed for use in commercial boiler applications, such as those found in factories, warehouses, distilleries and other industrial settings. It is also suitable for space heating systems and dryers.
It meets the British Standard for heating oil, BS2869 Class D and is comparable to other “35 second” heating oils.
Prema Heating Oil is strictly prohibited for use in mobile or stationary plant machinery. It is an industrial heating oil intended solely for use in heating applications. It must be stored separately from diesel and other fuels used in vehicles, plant and electricity generation.
- Space heating and central heating: Apartment blocks, schools, universities, hospitals, government buildings, hotels, factories, and commercial buildings.
- Industrial boiler plants: Food and beverage manufacturing facilities, dairies, distilleries, and animal feed mills.
- Drying and commercial heating: Grain dryers, metal and glass processing, quarries and asphalt manufacture.
- Other industrial heating oil applications which currently use diesel, kerosene or heavy, processed and reclaimed oils (PFO, HFO etc.)
- Winter-Grade Performance: Prema Heating Oil boasts a low Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFFP) and pour point, making it suitable for use throughout the year, even in the coldest winter months.
