Has anyone ever looked at or tested what rpm is required to get most of the sludge out? Processing a dirty batch now. My fuges removed 345oz(~21.6lbs) of sludge on a first pass of 300gal batch. I was impressed I was really impressed it was so dirty. Just started the second pass now so verdict...
Copy some report problems with running wvo and not getting burn combustion and leaking into the oil which could cause problems with polymerization. Also an injection rebuild shop local said they see lots of tractors injection systems gummed up from the bio mixed with diesel from the pump and...
Great link from axi-international, good find. I like the science and r&d of trying to figure all this out. I guess I would be happy if I could get 95% of the sludge out on a regular basis. Just wanting trouble free miles for years to come. I need to get a 1micron absolute sock for my QC. But...
Very interesting info. I usually go till hardly anything comes out in the fuges and then pass through at 1micron sock filter as QC. Been told it's overkill but, I like my fuel clean. I am learning new d2, oils, and other are not all that clean. So that makes me feel a little better. Lol
Pass 6 2.61oz. Really sticky slimy stuff. Feed stock was some synthetic blend gasoline piston oil primarily. Only think I didn't try was a pass with heat. Would be interesting.
I have to call it quits on this batch and start a new one. More data points to come. Same feed stock source. I messed...
If they are in series the heat will go through to #2 but you will see some drop from 1 to 2. But my setup with and inline heater was still able to warm the tote after going through two fuges.
Pass 5. 3.49oz
This stuff is thinned and been settled for a while. Suck off the top and then combine the bottoms of several and dispose of has been my method. Yes heat always helps. Trying to not do heat at the moment. Looks like I am flowing 5oz per min~2.3gph 8oz per min ~3.75gph(I read...
Here is the results of the 4th pass.
Sludge is consistent with the other passes, in consistency, maybe slightly stiffer(holds form better). Each pass seems to have less water. 4th pass was 5.86oz. So still less then pass 3, but not by much. Entering the realm of diminishing returns. Setting...
3rd pass done.
Well took 54hr to pass 300g through the fuges. So about 5.5gph.
Numbers are in. I zeroed the scale for each container type. Left to right pass 1, 2 ,3.
Weights 52.83oz, 13.20oz, 7.48oz.
So it is interesting that it is now halving the sludge amount. Would be an interesting...
Thought experiment. If I decrease the flow rate even more. Would it be better then currently doing at least two runs.
Example. It takes 48 hours to run 300g through one pass. Two passes would be 8day three would 12day. But would see if there was anything getting through.
Slow it down (to half...
Been running green fuge (absolute centrifuge) then wvo designs fuge in series for a while now. Got my new pabiodiesel ultimate force centrifuge(UFC)and running it solo. Works great and easy to clean. Finally got around to building a new rack to put all three in series. Pabiodiesel UFC then...
Yah another friend suggested a propane tank. Which I like both his and yours. Right now I think I want to keep it intact. Good idea about a tire balancer.
Let's hear some bowl ideas!
So I picked up this chip spinning centrifuge for cheap. It is designed to wring machining chips.
I don't think modify the existing bowl would be as good as build a new oil bowl. Also allow me to resell if not adequate for oil cleaning. It has got a decent diameter...
What kind of trouble? Binds up and can't get it to rotate? Mine got hard to rotate with some clay like sludge it got out of one batch.
I accidentally left the bowl lid screws loose, didn't double check, and the the gasket squeezed itself out. Needless to say I didn't need to clean the bowl and...
C-shape is like WVO designs and absolute centrifuge (no longer around). Not sure what they are officially called. The cross section looks like a "c" in shape. Simple to build and strong. Pretty easy to clean too.
Has anyone added Biobor JF to their wmo blends to kill microbes for storage? Results?
Technically support said it can be used with any hydrocarbons. Gave some other interesting information. Should blend fine and be just as effective, but viscosity might make not mix as quickly so agitation is...
I just got my new fuge, pabiodiesel ultimate force centrifuge up and running. Man I thought removing the bowl lid screws to clean the bowl would be a hassle, but I am a convert. So easy to clean when it's filled up with sludge. Even it's hard like clay or sloppy soft stuff. So much easier then...
It will attack brass and causes black pipe to rust. Great for wmo furnace. Got a buddy that uses it exclusively. Low ash and very clean usually. It can absorb and hold water. I got some yearsss ago. Didn't know what to do with it and after research seemed like it should work and fuges it and put...
Around 1996 international used the p7100 ppump injection pump in the dt466 before going to dt466e. So it would be very close to a ppump 12 valve. Several friends think that it would be an oil eater.
