Product Information

Oilybits Biodiesel Processor Kits

To watch our short assembly video of this kit please scroll down to the movie at the bottom....

Currently available in 60 Litre and 120 Litre, This component form kit provides the basic requirements of a Bio Diesel Processing System

WHATS NOT INCLUDED;

The kit is not supplied with a stand for the tank, we recommend customers build a low cost stand from timber to make best use of the space they have available. We can supply a steel stand for this kit, full information can be found HERE

The kit is supplied with an air inlet with adjustment valve for airflow, should you wish to attach an air compressor or air pump (not supplied) to purge your WVO or Biodiesel of Water and or Methanol. We do not recommend small domestic fish tank / aquarium aerators as they do not provide enough airflow to dry the fuel in a sensible amount of time, and the stones disintegrate in biodiesel. A proper workshop air compressor with 24L reservoir, OR a high flow fish tank / aquarium air pump (90-150 LPM airflow) will provide more than enough air to dry your fuel completely in less than 1 hour, without the need for any diffuser or stone

You can find a range of high quality, quiet running Air Pumps on this site HERE

If you water wash then air dry, and filter your fuel, it is possible to achieve EN standard, or close to it, without using potentially expensive dry wash media

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE - NEVER leave plastic tank reactors unattended and ALWAYS isolate power to the entire system when you are not present. If your reactor leaks, runs dry, or the element is switched on accidentally, then the tank will melt and pose a fire risk. Always keep a fire extinguisher to hand around the processor.

Unlike other manufacturers systems, this kit features a 16-Element Oilybits Static Mixer, which will ensure a completely homogenous 100% mix of the ingredients going through it, leading to a far greater purity of fuel over standard "slosh" or "velocity" mixing, a Static Mixer can best be described as a rod onto which 16 small propellors are welded, so the liquid is churned over and over as it goes past each propellor. The system also features a branch upstream of the pump, into which Methoxide can be drawn by the suction of the pump. By adjusting the valves to the Methoxide and Vegetable Oil Inlets, the mixture can be controlled so that the Methoxide is never "neat" in the system, and this thereby reduces the risk of a flammable mixture being present in the Processor

The kit is supplied with an Oilybits Misting Kit, which will enable water washing of the raw bio diesel after the Glycerol has been drained, by connecting the mister to a standard 1/2"ID Garden Hose

The kit is supplied with a Filtered (1 Micron) outlet which can then be conected to post-production purification equipment, such as an Ion Exchange Resin Tower, Eco2pure Tower, or Filter, or a simple Dispensing Nozzle (None of which are included with this kit but are optional extras shown in bottom image)

A tail is provided to form a vent, and can be attached to a length of 3/4" hose (not supplied) if venting to outside is desirable, though it is far better to use a bathroom extractor fan and 100mm duct to help the processor evacuate fumes and steam from the area

The kit is not supplied with instructions, but is supplied "loosely screwed together", and with a schematic diagram so that the assembler can see how it all needs to be connected, which is as per the photograph in this listing. Instructions on how to make biodiesel can always be found on our website and are regularly updated, instructions on how to make biodiesel can be found HERE
