On My Big Unit I use a G&R Gorman rup. explosion proof pump..220V 3hp 140 gallon per minute pump on a 500gallon tank with internal coils My small unit is a Hi...
It would work very well. Make sure your vacuum vessle is strong.. Heat to around 140+ and suck it down to 29 inches and all the water will boil right out. ...
That's exactly where I use it. My little blue pump is on my drying tank. I don't think they are big enough to run my 63 gallon reactor. Maybe two of them...
If you do this, be sure to put a vapor trap ahead of the vacuum pump. Usually ice bath with a flask so that the vapor entering the pump is dry, other wise you...
Hey all, We're getting ready for our Biodiesel Conference that will be held in July of this year. Updating the website (http://www.b100.org) is part of that...
Just in case anybody wants a university class Iowa State University is holding a class march 12th 2007 in Moscow,Idaho this is a 5 day intensive 9 to 10 hours...
OK boys and Girls here is a tough one for you. One of my WVO restruants washed his vats and kindly dumped the waste water into one of the drums that I pickup....
Would depend on your system and a few other things one can you pump the oil or is it to thick? 2.can you heat in reactor to 180F? If not then i would drain or...
First start with getting a good education on Biodiesel and go to a class like Iowa state holds as this will give you the tools you will need to get started...
mixt it with glicerine ... From: ralphwalsh1947 <ralphwalsh@...> To: biodieselbasics@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, February 5, 2007 9:12:35 PM Subject:...
Thanks Jim, I can remove it from the reactor but I was looking for a quick fix. Can't take reactor temperature over 60C (140F) because of my stupid plastic...
Thanks Johnny, I am a bit dubious about using glycerine. I have used it in the past to break Biodiesel emulsions but I tested it on my WVO gunk and while it...
I am conducting a research project on biodiesel quality and am seeking samples of any poor quality or offspec biodiesel that is known to have caused vehicle...
I have been a member of this group for quite some time now, but this is the first time that I have posted anything. When the weather starts to warm up and...
No problem,Had a similar situation happen to me the fumes were very bad!...If you start adding things to a simple problem it can effect fuel quality later in...
Has your study been showing this due to off spec of free glycerin?In talking with the lab I'm told this is the number one reason for fuel not passing second...
No, generally what I've found so far anecdotally in the past couple of years (interviewing people and running GC tests on two samples) is that it's related to...
Ok,Well I talked with some people at the lab again and most of there fuel that fails has not had a full conversion or has not been cleaned properly that would...
Can anyone address the impact of using used oil that has sat for 8 or 9 months in storage barrels. Could it be a cause of increased soap productrion during...
All this conversation about BD quality makes me think if I should go on with the experiments. I'm a little scared to break my engine. ... talking with the lab...
Hey,Kevin an easy step to check your fuel for a complete reaction is to make a mini batch, with your freshly made fuel.After washing and drying your fuel...
Depending on the length of time oil will start to breakdown or spoil if you will and will not complete the transesterfacation process and have a low conversion...
Kevin, The 3/27 test is the best and fastest way to grade your biodiesel, a lot simpler and cheaper too. james waetsphal <heartlandbiodiesel@...> wrote: ...
