I am still a little confused on something to do with waste motor oil. PH I read in only one place that you only have to worry about PH if there is water. That...
Just think of it as those medicines and vitamins in 'effervescent' form. They are perfectly stable away from water, but become quite entertaining when they...
Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and comments, I too have learned about river pebbles and water! Having spoken to some qualified geo-scientists, it seems...
Thanks for the reply, I guess it couldn't be too bad or I think I would see a lot of info on wmo shortening the life of an engine. I did a search on chemicals...
I don't know what sort of millstones your quarry fellow was referring to, but at least here in the Northeast US, millstones were typically granite-- and...
... Yes, it is simplistic. Concentrated sulphuric acid (aka oleum) has no free water, its pH is off scale. <snip> ... Water won't, by itself, affect the pH,...
... Good that makes sense. how would you detect it? ... I was thinking a digital PH meter rather than the strips. It seems to be more acuratye and no need to...
... I wouldn't <GRIN>. Actually a small sugar crystal will instantly blacken. ... You will need to reorder supplies, but they will be less often and less...
You have been a great help, especially with the sodium and potassium hydroxide and hydrocloric acid which is what I was looking for as to what to buy. That was...
... Unless they are COMPLETELY neutralized, they will damage an engine. Also if there are any suspended solids, they will damage an engine and water is not...
Hi Bob What you need to worry about is that the acids / caustics in the waste oil has been neutralized correctly to ensure that they don't do any dammage to ...
No you haven't put me off, actualy you have reinforced my choice a little. It apears to be at le4ast as easy or the same to prepair for use. I would likle to...
Hi again Bob Drying is done with heat, just heat it up to 50-60°C and then spray dry it, it dries pretty quick this way. I have set-up a open top tank for ...
Hi. can any one help me, I've lost the site or can't find it where the fella has 2x6-1 running on wmo powering and heating his home, It's the pictures that I...
Thanks for clearing that up for me. MMM P/L, centigrade, must be a Brit . I have a friend over there near one of those shires or whatever you call them, never...
... The other tool which seems to work is a centrifuge. About an 8" unit at 3,600 RPM will pull both water and suspended solids out nicely, but at a cost. It...
Morten-- is there a means by which you quantify how dry is dry enough, or do you follow some gut sense that if you let it go for X hours you can assume you've...
... Hahaha, is that to stop the dead rats before they end up in the fast spinning bowl putting the whole centrifuge out of commission when the bearings gives...
... What I normally do is to heat it up, start the pump and then just leave it for a few hours with the heater turned off, stop the pump and come back an hour...
I thought it would be fun to go shop around for one. I finaly decided they were WAY out of my price range when I founnd this site where they charge you over 11...
Morten-- so now I am puzzled-- when you referred to the heating and then running through the pump and showerhead, I was thinking that the idea was to have the...
This sounds pretty afordable and easy to build. http://biodiesel.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/159605551/m/2001011761 ... -- www.rbodell.com ... With a little...
Dear Trevor Morten's concept is quite simple... heat the oil, make a fine spray of the heated oil, and the water simply evaporates. When you take a shower, the...
... I think it's to small for the amount of crap that we want to get rid of, but for a bypass-filter for an engine it's excellent. When I get my 'oid I will...
Hi Again Trevor ... This is exactly what happens when I spray dry the oil, I normally leaves it spraying for a couple of hours and then turn the pump off. When...
... None at the moment, but I sure won't get that many either ;-) How much crap can it keep before it needs changing and how big are the orifices, you would...
I would strongly suggest contacting Tim Dawson Stanley from Tang in Ireland. He has designed a gravity fed WVO filter that can be assembled in no time at all...
