55 Gallon Steel Drum Filter Process.gifWVO Drum Filter Process134 viewsClick Image For Larger View
WVO is gravity fed to the drum filter via 2" hose through inline heater. Oil enters drum near bottom and is preheated once drum is full. Vacuum is pulled on reactor, then flow control valve is opened on reactor. Heated oil is pulled through filter element in drum under vacuum, through second stage canister filter near reactor. Flow rate is controlled by ball valve on reactor. The drum is at atmospheric pressure only, inner filter element is under vacuum to pull oil through.

Picture 182.jpgPump Mounted Gauge82 viewsThis gauge is mounted on the blower assembly. We added the 1/2 inch valve as a bypass for starting the motor while the main tank is under vacuum and the main tank valve is closed. To switch to pressure, we disconnect from the air filter assembly and connect it to the muffler on the exhaust side. All hose connection use 2 inch cam lock couplers for quick changing from vacuum to pressure.
