Ever heard of UOMA? What is it? No it is not slang in the Hood for “Joe Mama.” UOMA is the Used Oil Management Association. http://www.usma.com . We have discussed the incredible amount of progress groups have made here in the United States and in Canada. http://www.parthe.net/_oilchangeguys/0000001f.htm And http://www.parthe.net/_oilchangeguys/00000007.htm and http://www.parthe.net/_oilchangeguys/0000000c.htm and http://www.parthe.net/_oilchangeguys/00000008.htm and http://www.parthe.net/_oilchangeguys/00000033.htm . Millions of gallons are illegally dumped each year and mind you 1 gallon of used oil could pollute drinking water over the allowable US Limits from the EPA standards. 140 million used oil gallons are used in furnaces on-site each year. The 1980 Used Motor Oil Act was made to eliminate dumping and it has worked so far thanks to industry support of UOMA? UOMA, like your mother, but certainly not your mother by any means; understands what’s best. Establishing used motor oil to have a cradle to grave policy, which will probably be also set up for our Beef Industry. From Birth to shelf with imbedded RFID tags and that number sent with all the meat where ever it goes and onto the shelves. IT industry already has it figured out. With your energy costs up in your shop up you may wish to get a space heater. There was a great article on the different brands last month in National Oil and Lube News. The rules for using waste oil in space heaters are really simple: 1.) Heater must burn oil generated on-site. 2.) The heater must be vented from the out side. 3.) Capacity of heater cannot be over 500,000 BTU per hour. http://www.uoma.com/Environment2.html . Generally these type of units pay for themselves in under tow years. If you need more heat get two heaters. In the EU they too have a program for Oil and the whole car for that matter: http://www.parthe.net/_cwg0503/0000006f.htm and http://www.parthe.net/_cwg0503/00000070.htm . After reading thru the site of UOMA, you will learn about: The ROI of an oil fired space heater, the savings of moving used oil to comply with cradle to grave requirements, which are the best types of heaters to buy and all kinds of important tid-bits to assist you in saving money and heating your facility. In the future being smart about waste of any kind and using your ingenuity and that of the industry leaders we can run our businesses safe, free from tree-hugger radicals and profitable if we stick together do the right thing and pay attention. We recommend these to our future franchisees to install as well as any current franchisees in our company; http://www.CarWashGuy.com and http://www.OilChangeGuys.com .
