Bioethanol
Bioethanol or simply "ethanol", as fuel for the operation of fireplaces, is produced through the
fermentation of products of vegetal origin like sugar cane, potatoes, sugar beet and cereals, among
others. It is considered a renewable energy source, 100% green, which respects the environment and
does not contribute to global warming. Hence the name "bio" ethanol.
Bioethanol contains 96% vol. ethanol and 4% water. The percentage of water exists because bioethanol
is hygroscopic, it tends to absorb humidity from the air. In accordance with the various global
regulations that manage bioethanol commercialization, it can not be sold in its pure state. That which is
traded in the market is dominated by alcohol or denatured ethanol
(Methylated Spirits).
From the combustion of bioethanol are released carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). This is
undoubtedly one of the reasons why bioethanol fireplaces are considered clean and innovative
products.
As usually bioethanol fireplaces require no chimney or pipes, most of heat generated by the combustion
of bioethanol stays on the room. This is another reason that makes the combustion of bioethanol quite
efficient.
The consequences of use of an inappropriate fuel
Only recommended fuel should be used. In addition to bioethanol, no other fuel should be used in the
decorative fireplace. The use of an inappropriate fuel may lead to emission of irritating gases or soot or
even toxic gases that can harm human health.
In order to ensure a safe use of your fireplace please consider:
- Type of bioethanol recommended to be used in your decorative fireplace, care with use, handling and
storage of bioethanol;
- Information provided by the manufacturer on what to do if you can not find the fuel indicated. The
choice and use of an inappropriate fuel, as well as non-observance, contribute to an increased risk of
accidents;
- Information concerning the supplier of bioethanol and GlammFire retailers/distributors.
