Polymerisation lube oil
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...- Mt_Man

Interesting, are you running diesel or alternative?- Mt_Man

It was about 275ish. I will look better in a few days but not quite 300g this batch.- Mt_Man

Finding the limits of my centrifuge and the sweet spot
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...- Mt_Man

Finding the limits of my centrifuge and the sweet spot
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- Mt_Man

Finding the limits of my centrifuge and the sweet spot
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...- Mt_Man

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.- Mt_Man

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...- Mt_Man

Finding the limits of my centrifuge and the sweet spot
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...- Mt_Man

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...- Mt_Man

Finding the limits of my centrifuge and the sweet spot
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...- Mt_Man

Finding the limits of my centrifuge and the sweet spot
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...- Mt_Man
