Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bio20™?
Schildwachter’s blend of 20% processed agricultural-grade soybean oil with 80% low sulfur heating oil.

What are the benefits of Bio20™

• Pollutes Less: Bio20™ is cleaner and produces less carbon and other emissions.

• Prolongs equipment life for your heating system: Bio20™ lubricates and runs cleaner, so your system operates more efficiently.

• Supports America: Bio20™ reduces our dependence on expensive foreign oil and supports American farmers who grow the soybeans.

Do I need to change my system?
No! Bio20™ will run in your current system without any modifications.

Has Bio20™ been tested?
Thoroughly!  Tests at Brookhaven National Labs and extensive in-home tests over years of actual conditions in the tri-state area resulted in 100% satisfaction.  Bio20™ is produced in compliance with ASTM standards.

Why Bio20™?  Why not a lower or higher amount of soybean oil?
20% is optimal as recommended by the National Biodiesel Board.  Some dealers may be selling blends as low as 2% or 5%, but reductions in carbon emissions and foreign oil dependency are not meaningful at that level.  A 20/80 blend provides over 98% of the heat content of conventional fuel oil with even higher efficiency.
