Bitumen Tanker Solar Conversion
As the world looks to de-carbonize and stay ahead competitively, innovation in the use of renewable energy sources continues. WA BOS has joined with Action Bitumen Services to install and commission their ground breaking 24 volt brushless diesel burner motor with solar ability. It's a real game changer for improved environmental outcomes and better financial outcomes for bitumen tanker operators.
Efficiency and Reduced Environmental Impact
The brushless motor enables battery technology to be used to eliminate the need for a diesel generator. This not only reduces unwanted noise pollution from generators to zero with Lithium battery technology but eliminated the associated emissions (Environmental impact reduction).
The most significant outcome achieved from the Brushless technology is the improvement in heating efficiency. A newly designed jet spray pattern, possible due to a constant 3000 rpm speed has resulted in heating efficiencies from 4 degrees per hour to up to 10 degrees per hour. This reduction in heating times significantly decreases labour costs and increases productivity traditionally lost in awaiting specific and correct heat values of bitumen products
Bespoke Installation & Commissioning
WA BOS has taken on the task of modifying in-service tankers by mounting the solar panels, lithium battery packs and power electronics to deliver improved efficiency and extended service life to legacy tankers. As part of WA BOS' expanding bitumen tanker service business. Our specialist team has the experience, the knowledge and now the leading edge technology to support efficient civil construction operations all over WA.
