from July/August 2023
by PHAM News
FirePro is the name of Tuffa’s turnkey solution that includes a fire-resistant bunded tank for oil storage. Working with approved inspectors of Building Control, JHAI, Tuffa says it has developed a simple four-step, time-effective compliance process that removes all the legalese and jargon required by Building Control, insurance and local authorities. Bunded with a fire-resistant jacket, FirePro tanks provide up to 110% capacity for leaks and overfills, ensuring extra protection and preventing environmental risks. They come in 30- or 60-minute fire protection models, complying with British standards. Unlike traditional installations, FirePro tanks only need a 300mm boundary, eliminating the need for fireboards. With a patented approach, these tanks can be discreetly placed near buildings or even inside outbuildings, providing fuel security while maintaining compliance. ◼ phamnews.co.uk/723/61
HVO helps boilers emit 90% less emissions
Boasting high efficiency and reliability, the Warmflow Agentis range is an AA-rated combi oil boiler claimed to save homeowners up to 5 liters of fuel per week. It is also compatible with hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), which burns cleaner and more efficiently than fossil fuels. Warmflow says they can emit up to 90% less carbon when using HVO, helping customers reduce their carbon footprint. It also gives engineers a future-proof boiler choice that supports the decarbonisation of heat in rural areas.
