A revolutionary stove that can help improve global health for millions.

Cleaner, safer, more powerful.

Clean, smoke free, safe cooking is a global challenge.

In the general population, over 3 billion people (c500 million households) cook with smoky fuels on a daily basis, resulting in respiratory diseases such as Pneumonia and Lung Cancer leading to over 4 million deaths per annum; this equates to one death every time you blink or to the population of Ireland, more that HIV/AIDS and Malaria combined. Smoke is also responsible for Cataracts, the largest cause of blindness in the developing world, mainly to women and children as they spend most time in a cooking environment.

In the case of Militaries, they continue to use Hexamine for individual soldiers, which is highly toxic and hazardous to transport. Traditional field kitchens for larger groups of soldiers are predominantly gas powered, which is a potential explosive risk and difficult to resupply.

To meet the challenges of clean cooking in a humanitarian or military situation, Boilex have introduced the new Ultraclean stove for individual and larger group cooking. The Ultraclean stove will boil 5 litres of water in c11.5 minutes compared with over 30 minutes from comparable stoves and use up to 80% less fuel. Made of durable metal, it is robust and guaranteed for up to 5 years (assuming careful daily use). This stove has the added advantage of an inbuilt battery capable of powering LED lights and charging USB devices such as cell phones.

The Boilex Ultraclean stove is ideal for all terrain and all environments and can be modified and tailored to suit specific needs. The Boilex Ultraclean stove, accessories and Zip Cooking Fuels can be supplied in various formats, from bulk packs to individual stoves, to provide bespoke cooking and water heating solutions.

Clean burn performance

A Boilex Ultraclean stove is categorised as a ‘Forced Air’ or ‘Gasifier’ type of stove. It works by a use of a battery operated ‘fan’ housed in a separate engine unit , which is housed inside the crucible during transit/carriage but which close couples to the side of the stove when in use. The battery is recharged using a solar panel, mains or vehicle battery. On full power, the stove quickly generates temperatures up to 1000ºc. It is possible to vary the power via a control gauge, which moderates the amount and speed of air flowing into the stove. Being able to control the heat is similar to other cooking methods, such as gas, and is inherently easy to use and more readily culturally accepted. The greater the amount of air, the more powerful the combustion process and the cleaner the fuel burns. The Boilex Ultraclean stove utilises the latest patented designs to produce a clean burn even at low levels.

This ultra efficient way of burning the fuel results in up to 80% less fuel being needed to cook with (compared to open fires) and up to 40% less fuel than other forced air stoves. This not only saves cost for the user but may also result in significantly less time spent collecting fuel, allowing the user to spend time on more added value tasks.

Unique to Boilex is the capability of using many types of fuel, including biomass (wood chips, wood, twigs, dung and pellets), liquids (Kerosene, Methyl Esters and alcohol) and high energy fuels (such as Zip Cooking Fuel, alcohol gels and Hexamine), all from one stove. This gives improved convenience to the user and the ability to switch from less efficient or more expensive traditional cooking stove/fuel combinations, many of which are also unsafe, as the table below shows.

Traditional fuel options have significant weaknesses

Fuel type Traditional Fuel Challenge Boilex MultiFuel Stove

Wood burns cleanly, no sootFIREWOODNot locally sustainable / attractsviolence against women and children

Again burns cleanly but not idealfor stove useCHARCOAL Bulky / unreliable supply / toxic

smoke inhalation / very inefficient

With liquid insert, Kerosene alsoburns cleanly and more safely – less chance of spillage

KEROSENE Restrictions on air transport /erratic fuel availability

Works well with high energy density fuel insert

HEXAMINE Highly toxic/leaves soot on pots /not convenient for group cooking

Not used with this stove; 5 litres of water reaches boil in c16 mins for the BoilexTM stove v c30-40mins+ for a standard camping gas stove

GAS (LPG)Expensive / restrictions on airtransport / supply difficulties

Should not be used due to safety, but can be used with the high energy density fuel insert

ALCOHOL GEL Highly flammable / explosive / restrictions on air transport

Advantages of the BoilexUltraclean Multifuel stoves

Fuel Options

BiomassThe Boilex Ultraclean stove is designed to work with biomass (wood, wood pellets, wood chips, dung, twigs and crop waste) that can be sourced locally. The fuel is top loaded into the stove using a chute and ideally has a constant 1-2 inches of fuel in the crucible to operate.

High Density FuelsLocally sourced fuels are not always available and that is why Zip have developed their cooking fuel blocks. This fuel is based on a naturally derived, sustainable biofuel that is non toxic and burns cleanly with a high calorific value. It is also air transportable so can be parachute dropped into remote locations when required.For operation with such fuels, the crucible is simply repositioned to allow air to circulate in the most beneficial way.

LiquidsIn some situations liquids, such as Kerosene or alcohols, are the preferred or only fuel options readily available. These fuels are highly flammable and less safe to use when cooking. The Boilex Ultraclean Stove can easily be converted to burn such liquids with the use of a robust metal insert and a wicked canister containing the fuel. The design of the insert allows the air to be sucked away from the centre of the stove to produce a flame that is significantly wider and more efficient when transferring heat to a cooking pot or pan. The enclosed nature of the wicked container also ensures the risk of spillage is significantly reduced, a key safety feature.

Micro BusinessNot only does the Boilex Ultraclean stove have profound health benefits, it is also a potential source of income for local communities. The stoves can provide local commerce opportunities for sales, distribution and production of the stoves and wood pellet fuel. The additional service of charging mobile telephones has also proved to be popular. Traditionally in Africa, such micro commerce is adopted by women, who are empowered to create local employment, improve living standards and are able to further support their families with opportunities such as education or commerce.

Advantages Detail

Health improvement No smoke, significantly reduces risk of Cancer / Cataracts / respiratory diseases, cleanest non gas/electric stove in the market

Employment Develops local jobs for manufacturing (stoves and pellets) and for distribution

Safety Reduces house fires and risk of burning by using a wicked, sealed liquid container or by switching to safer fuels

Costs The stove uses up to 80% less fuel than open fires and up to 40% less fuel than other forced air stoves. Biomass is the cheapest fuel solution, multi-fuel solution means potential savings on government infrastructure costs

Convenience The multifuel option means the user can operate the stove with whatever fuel is most readily available. The stove also heats the contents of a pan more quickly than other stoves and frees the user for other added value tasks

Raising living standards By saving time on wood/fuel collection and cooking, people can focus on poverty alleviation e.g. education / commerce

Environmental benefits The significantly greater efficiency of the stove reduces deforestation and environmental pressures. The stove will use up to 80% less wood than other stoves, with very few emissions

Female empowerment As it is normally the woman that cooks, use of the more powerful Boilex stoves results in less time spent cooking, more time may be spent on other added value tasks e.g. new business from the stove such as charging phones / educating the children

Education Lights may be powered from the stove meaning people are able to read in the evening, plus USB ports for charging other products

Cultural adoption Familiarity of design (looks and operates like a gas hob) means their willingness to adopt

Boilex Ultraclean stoves make a daily difference - globally
