Beckett Fuel Capabilities
from Traditional Heating Oil to Renewable Fuels (B100 and R100)
Ready for the Fuels of Today and Tomorrow
While Beckett has its roots in the residential and commercial heating industries, our products are actually found across a wide range of industries and applications including construction, food processing, heated pressure washing, road maintenance, and more. And while many industries and applications will continue to rely on traditional fuels for the foreseeable future, we also know biodiesel and renewable diesel — fuels that reduce our carbon footprint while providing safe, reliable, and affordable heat — are becoming more prevalent in residential heating and are the future of that industry.
Beckett’s line of combustion equipment is ready, today, to handle not only traditional liquid fuels like No. 1 and No. 2 Heating Oil but also blends of up to B100 and R100. This means that the Beckett burner and control you install today to work with No. 1 Heating Oil will continue to deliver the same industry-leading performance tomorrow when your customer makes the switch to B100 or R100. Consumer demand for B100 and R100 will continue to increase, and the market will find a way to produce these fuels on a larger scale — and if you’ve partnered with Beckett, you will be ready.
The Beckett B100 and R100 Solution
Beckett’s Tank-to-Flame™ system of environmentally friendly renewable fuel products is designed to allow contractors to provide safe, reliable, affordable, and sustainable heating solutions to their customers.
It all starts with our AF and AFG burners — the first burners on the market to be B100 and R100 compatible — designed to meet the increased performance demands of modern equipment and to meet the industry’s carbon reduction challenges. Beckett burners utilize the most technologically advanced components available today and are B100 UL Listed for up to 100% biodiesel (B100) and compliant with 100% renewable diesel (R100). Together with our GeniSys® 7565 Advanced Burner Control, our CleanCut™ Oil Pump, our myTechnican® mobile smartphone application, and the rest of Beckett’s biofuel-ready Tank-To-Flame™ system of product solutions, you’ll get game-changing market innovation today for a greener tomorrow.
Fuel Compatibility for Beckett Burners
It’s important to note that Beckett combustion products continue to deliver the industry-leading performance you’ve come to expect when used with traditional liquid fuels like No. 1 and No. 2 Heating Oil as well as all biodiesel and renewable diesel blends up to and including B100 and R100, meaning that these components work across a spectrum of liquid fuels. And because not every Beckett product is rated for use across the same spectrum of fuels and fuel blends, we will soon be introducing a Fuel Compatibility Index on our website and across our literature to make it easy for you to know the fuels with which each product is compatible so you can present the solutions that are right for your customers. For now, the graphic below references the fuel compatibility of Beckett Burners.
