 WVO Filtration Unit
This simple system was designed to be the last filtration system you will ever need for filtering Waste Vegetable Oil for use in Straight Vegetable Oil or BioDiesel. Gone are the days of messy filters hanging from 2x4's, sticky WVO all over the concrete, and juggling bulky containers to fuel your car. The WVO Filtration Unit can fit in the corner of your garage and will allow you to keep your vehicle filled up with clean vegetable oil even in the chill of winter with just a turn of a valve and the flip of a switch.
Clean fuel is essential to operating converted car reliably; which is why we have done all the work for you in designing an easy to build system to transform waste oil into clean and inexpensive fuel.
Let’s cover what this system does:
This is the part of the filter that removes all the “big stuff” (food particles) from the oil you want to use as fuel. The WVO Filtration Unit uses a 200 micron strainer inside a filter housing to pre-filter the used oil.
Step two of the filtration, the heat filter is a critical part of filtering the used vegetable oil. This is the part that settles out all of the water and hydrogenated oils from the oil you want to use as fuel. The Heater Element heats the oil up to around 180 degrees, where it will stay for about 3 hours, the heater is then turned off and the oil is allowed to settle for 8 hours. This step takes the longest and is considered one of the most important steps. So don’t skip this one.
The WVO Filtration Unit uses 2 inline filters to “polish” the pre-filtered and settled oil. This is where you will use the Whole House Filter housings, 20 micron filter, and 5 micron filter.
This is the final filter, really, this is only here to prevent debris from falling into your clean drum, but you can also use a 1 micron filter bag to hang inside the filter housing.
So, if you’ve filtered oil before, then you have dreaded this part. This is where you use to have to lug a bulky container of filtered oil out to the car and then pour it into the tank. That is now a thing of the past, turn a couple valves, and pump into your car, just like going to the gas station.
Tired of filtering grease the "Old Fashioned Way?" Want to build a WVO Filtration Unit yourself? This syste is built from easy to find parts, most can be found at a local hardware store! This is perfect for filtering the oil to use for cars that run on SVO but is also a great way to filter the oil before being processed into Biodiesel!
Here are the plans to build the WVO Filtration Unit.
