Product Overview

EcoPro™ Boiler Fuel | Alternative industrial heating fuel in Cape Town

EcoPro™ is engineered for use in small industrial boilers and heating systems requiring consistent, high calorific output.

These properties make EcoPro™ particularly well suited to industries such as panel-beating facilities, workshops, and other heat-dependent operations.

  • High calorific value, delivering strong energy output per litre
  • Higher flash point than paraffin, improving operational safety
  • Sulphur content below 0.01%, reducing corrosion and extending exhaust system life
  • Negligible ash content, minimising combustion chamber and flue tube cleaning requirements
Product Overview

Performance & cost efficiency

Due to its high calorific value, EcoPro™ has consistently demonstrated measurable operational benefits.

In many installations, only minimal modifications to existing burners and fuel systems are required, making the transition from diesel or paraffin straightforward and economical.

  • Lower mechanical wear compared to traditional hydrocarbon fuels
  • Improved combustion efficiency
  • Reduced maintenance frequency
  • Lower monthly heating costs
