Alternative Fuel Refineries: How Hotsy Pressure Washers Provide Ample Cleaning Power

Our nation relies heavily on oil—and the cost of gasoline is continuously skyrocketing. That's why we're always looking for alternative renewable energy sources. Now, more than ever, corn production is being used to feed the mills that produce a new alternate fuel—ethanol. According to Keith Collins, USDA’s chief economist, the US is poised to produce approximately 11.4 billion gallons of ethanol per year by the end of 2008. Such a boom in production will ultimately result in a growing number of ethanol refineries nationwide—and they'll need heavy duty high pressure cleaning equipment—both gas powered and electric.

High pressure cleaning equipment—inside or outside the refinery
Several Hotsy dealers in the Midwest are already providing ethanol refineries and bio-diesel plants with their high pressure cleaning equipment. Maintenance and grounds crews face tough challenges keeping their forklifts, pay loaders, rail movers and other large equipment in good clean working order. Many rely on portable Hotsy gas pressure washers to remove dust, grease and oil from outdoor heavy machinery, while electric pressure washers are used for indoor cleaning.

Producing 7.8 GPM at 3000 RPMs, our industrial-sized high pressure cleaning equipment is ideal for use at different stations around the refinery. That's the kind of cleaning power plant owners need to maintain their equipment and keep it running at peak performance.

Hotsy Hot Water Pressure Washers in Ethanol Refineries
The interior vessels and digesters of ethanol refineries need a solid high powered cleanse several times a year to keep them from clogging and breaking down. Ethanol refineries often close up shop for a few days to thoroughly scour the greasy grime with hot water pressure washers. Due to the hazards of working near a flammable fuel source, plant owners and operators trust Hotsy high pressure cleaning equipment because it has been meticulously tested and certified to meet OSHA safety certification.

High Pressure Cleaning Equipment for Biodiesel Plants
Biodiesel is another alternative fuel that is produced from renewable resources such as soybeans. Biodiesel producers also face the same challenges in keeping their equipment clean and well-running. That's why so many plants have come to depend on our electrical powered stationary hot water pressure washers. Hotsy offers a wide range of high pressure cleaning equipment, including electric for indoor jobs, and oil or gas pressure washers for exterior jobs.
