Cleaning Vegetable Oil with a Centrifuge

"The whole setup with the heater tank in the background and the barrel to catch the oil to the left. The white bucket is to catch any oil that happens to come out of the cream spout."

Using a Centrifuge to Clean my WVO

Tags: links inline

"I have been using a Dieselcraft centrifuge (CF, designed originally for lube-oil bypass filtering, price= $200) to filter my waste vegetable oil (WVO) and it works great. I no longer need to buy replacement filters, and it dewaters the VO (which no filters can do - including "water block" types.). I put the VO sucked right from the dumpster through a 100 mesh screen into the rig, no settling needed. The VO needs to be heated to >120F and then pumped through it at 90psi and 0.9gpm. It spins at around 7000 rpms. The way I have the water heating elements, it is removing water both by centrifuge action (the best) and by Flash evaporation. I have sent samples to a testing lab and it showed good results, both for water and particle removal."
