Filterfarm 750
 |
This is a machine purposely designed to filter waste vegetable oil for semi-professionals. It features 4 large canisters, as shown in the image on the left, which give a combined filter area of about 0.750 meters squared. Much of the contamination is wax, which is removed very effectively at flow rates of between 1000 and 5 litres per hour, depending on how clogged up the cartridges are. |
| The photo on the right shows how a very waxy oil can be directly filtered into fuel grade oil (1 micron). With this system there is no longer any need for lengthy settling times or large settling tanks taking up valuable space. |
|
| When the cartridges are completely full the wax can be scraped off and the cartridges replaced to continue filtration. The Filterfarm 750 is most effective when run 24 hours a day and there is a PLC option to prevent tank overfill, compressor over-run etc. Price of standard machine is £1225.00 including delivery to mainland UK. Availability: Now . Delivery currently 6 weeks. |

Filter - separator
500
 |
Clean up your own waste cooking
oil with this machine.
It features a 4 stage filtration and
separation system now shipped with the 10 micron
industrial filter at no extra cost. The unit is
split into two main compartments and has a novel
gravity separation method in the left side with
a percolation take-off that runs into the right
side so that oil is skimmed off the top as it
separates, avoiding the 3 week settling time that
is normally needed. No electricity is needed, although there is an immersion heater now installed in the left hand compartment which can be used to greatly accelerate the settling time.
Unit size is 1m high x 1m wide x 0.5m deep on
a 0.55m stand.
The machine has a very small amount of
consumables and the bag filter is cleanable, with
very low maintenance. Just keep topping it up
with waste oil. Produces a minimum of 10
litres of fuel grade vegetable oil every day,
depending on how clean the filter is, the quality
of the oil and the ambient temperature. In Summer,
with good oil, it can process up to 50 litres
per day. Price: £850.00 not including packaging and delivery. Availability: Now. Delivery currently 3 weeks. |

Vegi-Boost combustion enhancer
Vegi-Boost combustion enhancer is available
in 500ml and 1000ml cans for people to create their own specialty
fuel. It is essential to anybody using vegetable
oil mixed into their diesel and will help protect
both the engine and the environment. The recommended
blend is 20% refined rapeseed oil, 80% diesel. Other blends with waste vegetable oil and petrol may be used, with petrol at 10%. Vegi-boost will compensate for the low cetane value of petrol. 10 % petrol lowers the viscosity of vegetable oil by approximately 50%. |

| This book is the classic book on veg oil
fuels and has been responsible for turning thousands
of people onto this idea. These guys were the first
people to publicise this stuff for the people and
the book is now many people's bible. |
|
| How to Make Biodiesel is a hands-on guide
for those who wish to make biodiesel on a small
scale. It is also an introduction to this exciting
new fuel for vehicle users, policymakers and the
general public. The book has grown out of the manual
we have developed to use on the LILI biodiesel course
over the last 3 years. Key areas covered include
the chemistry of biodiesel, an introduction to Diesel
engines, the environmental benefits of biodiesel,
in-depth instructions about making biodiesel on
a small scale, hints for building a small plant,
and up-to-date coverage of relevant UK regulations.
Also covered are simple fuel testing and wider ramifications
of biodiesel use. A resources section gives UK and
international contacts for equipment and research |
