If you put the wvo in a closed tank and create a vacuum while heating will it increase the rate the water that is removed and is there a rate to calculate...
Put the water/wvo in your processor or a cone bottomed tank and drain off the water. Evaporating using a vacuum system will take forever if you are removing...
You can go to the steam table to calculate the theoretical vacuum temp combination. However, when water is saturated in WVO, we have found that it is very...
Hello Randy, I use a vacuum pump to speed up the removal of water from my process. I pull as deep a vacuum as possible (usually 20-25 in merc) and circulate...

You dont want to run a inline heater,what happens is you get a big water bubble inside the heater,it steams off now you have air and no oil in your inline...
Fisheye, I have to disagree with your opinion in regards to in-line heaters. As long as the pump is running, circulating the oil, no bubble (water or oil) can...

If you're producing BD, you didn't do anything wrong per se. Sight tubes give level in the processor only ... not any flow during processing to change the...
There's nothing wrong with using inline heaters. I use 2 of them on my reactor, made with a 2" black pipe tee. I set them up at about a 20 degree upward...
Rick, I will try to get the pictures posted asap, my only reason for the sight tube was to check for the glycerin fall out as my tank is rather thick and I...

I like Rick's technique. Let me add this from my personal experience. Sight tubes are good at telling you how filled your processor is and little else. Because...
Dave, I looked at the pictures you uploaded. You need to add a valve to the bottom of the sight tube to isolate it from the processing loop, as it is now you...
