Introducing: GenePak Used Oil Recycling Kit for Diesel Engines
- 1. Introducing... The GenePak The flagship product of Geneco International
- 2. The GenePak is an innovative development using modern technology The GenePak lets diesel engines run on 100% waste oil. (any petrol-based used oil) Waste oil is a source of fuel that is more and more being considered as an important alternative to costly diesel oil.
- 3. How The GenePak Works A simple conversion is necessary to to run a diesel engine on 100% used oil Were pleased to announce that the GenePak is the first-ever conversion kit of its kind to achieve this.
- 4. How it works The conversion typically begins with installation of a reserve tank intended for diesel fuel. Running on diesel remains an option after installation of the GenePak. Your primary tank is now used to hold waste oil. Your new fuel
- 5. How it works The GenePak is then attached. Several connections are made, and the diesel engine is ready to run on 100% waste oil. Your engine will start on the diesel in your reserve tank, then switch to used oil once the engine is at operating temperature. Used oil can be delivered to your location by one of the many oil collection companies for approximately 1/10 the cost of diesel fuel.
- 6. How it works If youre interested in delving a bit deeper into what makes the GenePak work It actually works like this
- 7. How it works A high-performance fuel pump, like the one pictured here, delivers used oil from the large tank
- 8. How it works to the filter pack (in sets of 2) The unique filter design is a key component of the GenePak. Only Genuine Geneco filters can be used.
- 9. How it works Geneco filters employ recently-developed technology to remove ultra-fine particles without clogging. Until recently, this would have been impossible. This feature sets us apart and makes the GenePak possible. Particles above 3 microns are filtered out of the used oil (many types of used oils, such as hydraulic oil, will work in the GenePak). The filter renders a product more pure than diesel fuel, which translates directly into lower emissions and longer life of your engines components.
- 10. How it works The oil is pumped into the collection reservoir which analyzes the condition of the filters, and determines if filters are beginning to clog. Genuine Geneco fuel filters are rated for a minimum three months at normal usage of the application. Filters are configured in pairs. The number of pairs required varies with the flow. See our flow tables to determine your filter configuration.
- 11. How it works Next, the fuel is heated using a highperformance fuel heater. Used oil has a higher viscosity (thickness) than diesel. Raising the temperature of the filtered oil is necessary to achieve the correct viscosity and ensure proper ignition in the combustion chamber. It is a common practice to heat diesel fuel in cold weather applications and when running vegetable oil.
- 12. How it works A solid-state control module performs several basic functions. Controls fuel pump Controls fuel heater Controls flow valves Measures performance of filter. Sends 3 levels of warnings via SMS when filter needs changing. Reports status codes via SMS Automated switching between oil and diesel fuel

- 14. Thats how it works! Genuine Geneco filters are the key to the GenePak. Each GenePak is a waste oil recycling plant because of this application of technology. Were building a list of sites where a GenePak is quietly working to save customers huge amounts on their fuel bill. Recycling used oil helps the environment and gives you peace of mind -- while you save money. its a win-win for everyone!
- 15. Fuel Savings Potential Its easy to determine your savings with the GenePak. Simply divide what you spend on diesel by a factor of 10. We know that sounds simple, but thats the average price used oil delivered to your home or business in the developed world. In remote locations, you may experience more difficulty finding a steady supply of used oil.
- 16. Fuel Savings Potential So, lets say that you had a diesel generator that looks like this Silent Type Cummins Diesel Generator Set (50KW-200KW)
- 17. Fuel Savings Potential Just under the bonnet, you would expect to find a QSB7 6.7 cubic litre (408 ci) 6-cylinder inline Cummins diesel engine such as the one pictured here.
- 18. Fuel Savings Potential Youd be generating up to 174kWm (kilowatts per minute) enough to serve a small African community. In America, the average home uses 11,280 kWh per year, making the daily average 31kW, with demand of 2kWm. Unless the homes are peaking at the same time, this device would conceivably service around 75 homes.
- 19. Fuel Savings Potential A quick look at the spec sheet for the QSB7 and we can see that if we generate an average of 75% prime power (114kW) for a duration of 10 hours per day for 30 days, we would expect to burn 2,400 gallons of diesel fuel. (10 x 30 x 8.0)
- 20. Fuel Savings Potential In this example, you generated energy for 75 homes for one month and burned 2400 gallons of diesel which cost about $ 3.36 per gallon. Your total diesel fuel bill was: $ 8,071 With the GenePak installed on your diesel equipment, youd pay about $800 (assumes used oil at $0.33 per gallon) Savings: $7,271 In this example, one month of power savings was more than the cost of your GenePak and you still have two months before a filter change!
