The ethanol content of a fuel and the different denaturants that have been added to it can affect how clean the fuel will burn. If during the use of the appliance, you smell a burning or smoky smell, this indicates the fuel is likely not very clean or of the correct purity. It is this smell that the “no odour” and its variants refers to. In this article, we will review some of the most common features of ethanol fuels to help clarify some of this confusion. Gel or Liquid? Should you use an “odourless” fuel but still get a smoky or alcoholic smell while the appliance is in use, and after it is up to temperature, then it is likely that the appliance is not getting hot enough or providing the correct amount of airflow to the fuel to ensure complete combustion of the vapours.
To stay at the forefront of sustainable energy innovation, EkoFuel invests significantly in research and development. We collaborate with leading scientists, engineers, and institutions to explore new technologies and improve energy efficiency. By supporting cutting-edge research, EkoFuel paves the way for ground breaking advancements in renewable energy. Yes. Although through simple maths, it is easy to calculate that even if the starting point of any UK denatured bioethanol fuel is 100% bioethanol, after the addition of the HMRC required denaturing agents, 3% vol IPA and 3% vol MEK, the bioethanol content would be 94%. Stating this % bioethanol on the bottle would be unhelpful, since the bioethanol fuel mixture would contain no water and would therefore run hotter than intended. It is for this reason that it is the starting mixture % bioethanol that is quoted on the Ekofuel bottle, to which is added the minimum denaturants required by UK or EU law and no water is subsequently added. The resulting product, whether its is denatured to the UK or EU recipe performs similarly and is acceptable to bioethanol fireplace manufacturers.
RENEWABLE FUEL
EkoFuel is a registered trade name of Prima Industries Ltd www.primaind.co.uk, a UK-based company with a strong presence in the heating industry since 2006. As with adding denaturants, adding scents to the fuel can affect how it burns. In our experience of testing scented fuels, it can also be difficult to find a product that smells as advertised.
When alcohol vaporises it can give off a strong alcohol smell. This is normally removed when the vapours are burnt. And so for the majority of the time your appliance is in use, the fuel will likely have very little, or no smell. Many bioethanol fire manufacturers recommend using a fuel with a minimum content of 96% ethanol. Some also indicate an upper percentage limit as burning 100% ethanol could be too hot for the design of the burner and result in the appliance not behaving correctly.Ekofuel deliver high quality, environmental friendly bioethanol fuel for bioethanol fires to thousands of their clients online. Their aim is to make sure you have no more food tainted with the smell of petrol and petrol fumes. They are very committed to their customers. All bioethanol fuels work by burning vapours (not the actual liquid) and when the temperature of ethanol falls below 15⁰C it doesn’t vaporise well, which means it becomes difficult to light. CLEAN BURNING – Ekofuel bio fuel has the highest bioethanol purity possible according to UK Excise notice 473. No other bio ethanol fuel in UK has a higher purity than Ekofuel giving an ash free, clean burn every time. Ekofuel bio fuel is made from double rectified 96.6% purity bioethanol, with added denaturants as required by UK law, resulting in an amazing purity biofuel and a clean burn. Ekofuel is also produced from sustainable sources and is eco-friendly using the by-products of other agricultural industries for the materials needed in its production.
