What is the absolute best filtering centrifuge. USFILTERMAXX has a centrifuge that gets up to 10k gs i imagine that would be really well filtered. Is there any other centrifuge thats better or is there an even better process for filtering the oil. I want as clean of oil as possible so ill have the least amount of potential problems

The more Gs, the faster it gets cleaned.
The longer the medium stays in the centrifuge, the cleaner it gets.
The higher the temperature, the shorter it can stay in the centrifuge.

You can make a loop, so the medium passes several times.

If you have space, then get some storages (barrels, IBCs) and let it sit for some time, so water and other content has time to reach the bottom of the tanks.
This will help to reduce the time in the centrifuge.

I have a pump driven centrifuge with 4.1 G and a motor driven centrifuge with (I think) 2.7 or 2.8 G.
Both centrifuges are feeded by the same pump. I just closed the valve for the motor driven centrifuge that much, that I have a flow rate of max. 10 L/h.

The motor driven centrifuge separates better.

Happy cleaning!

The higher the temp the shorter it can stay in? So instead of heating the waste oil before going into the fuge should it be mixed with gas first, Can i use heat and gas for maximum cleaning. During the warmer months i had planned on using 100% wmo and 85 or 80% during colder months.

Gas boils at a pretty low temp and probably "off gas," wasting the thinning effect of it. But I can say that my fuges running thinned fuel and these warmer summer temps are pulling out a lot of sludge. So maybe mild 60f could be helpful.
