FUELMEISTER 400 BIODIESEL PROCESSOR
- Biodiesel Production Capacity
- Biodiesel Produced 400 gallons in an 8 hour period (made in two 200 gallon batches)
- Consumables
- Vegetable Oil 200 gallons per batch (less than 2% FFA
- Methanol 40 gallons per batch
- Sodium Methylate (25%) Up to 26.2 liter per batch depending on titration
- By-Product
- Glycerol 28 – 36 gallons per batch
- Soapy Water Quantity depends on quality of input oil. For sewer drain only.
Specifications:
- Power Required
- 20 Amps @ 240 VAC 60 Hz. 1 Ph. circuit. Typical current draw is 10 Amps.
4 (1000W) 115 VAC circuits for barrel heaters.
- Control Panel The electrical control panel contains:
- Panel Circuit breaker
- Lighted Pump ON/OFF Switch
-
Starts 60 minute timer cycle
- When OFF, breaks both legs of main pump circuit
- (2) Lighted ON/OFF Switches for water wash circuits
- (2) Lighted ON/OFF Switches for air bubble dry circuits
- Connection cables for both water and air circuits are provided, however only 1 water wash lid is provided with the system. A second water wash lid can be purchased separately.
- The control panel has a 15’ coil of 12/3 AWG wire for connection to wall mounted disconnect panel.
- Component Certifications
- All electronic components, breaker, contactor, solenoid valves, and main process pump are UL rated or listed. The control box is NEMA 12 certified. Control circuits and external solenoid valves are 24 VDC. Solenoid valves and are rated for explosion proof environments.
- Main Process Pump/Motor
- 1 HP, UL rated for Class 1 hazardous environment. Approx. 25 gallon per minute (depending on oil viscosity).
- Processing Tanks
- Two 300 gallon polyethylene tanks mounted on welded steel stands.
- Pressure Relief Valve
- An adjustable pressure relief valve is provided for safety in the high pressure section of the manifold.
- Methanol/Methylate Pump
- Air driven barrel pump with explosion proof rating, conductive hose, and bonding wires. A quick disconnect fitting connects to the Methanol port or the Methylate tank. The pump incorporates its own activation lever for operator to dispense liquids. The pump is equipped with a 2” MPT barrel adapter and a 1” conductive hose to transfer the liquid chemicals to the FM400 Processor. Two additional vapor hoses [with respective 3/4" MPT fittings] are provided to return chemical vapors from the FM400 Processor to the respective chemical 55 gallon drums.
- Valves
- Manual actuated steel ball valves. 1 ¼” and larger valves have position locks.
- Manifold
- All high pressure sections are made of black iron pipe which have been permanently sealed at joints to prevent leaks. Braided hose is used a low pressure sections only.
- Input/Output Connections
- Methanol and Methylate connections are by valved quick disconnect fittings.
- Hoses
- The system comes with an oil draw tube (w/foot valve) for a standard 55 gallon barrel and a female 1” cam lock fitting. The Glycerol/Water drain/Biodiesel output hose has a garden hose fitting adapter.
- Catalyst System
- Direct Catalyst Injection (Patent Pending) with 10 liter fill tank.
- Water Wash System
- A lighted push-button switch on control panel operates a water supply solenoid on the “drip type” water wash lid (one per system) which includes a built in flow regulator. An instrument grade level gauge is incorporated into the lid flow shut off thereby preventing overflow. Wash water is drained by a manual valve at the bottom of the tank.
- Bubble Dry System
- Two lighted push-button switches on control panel operate air supply solenoids for each tank. The air lines are controlled by an air regulator located below the control panel.
- Master Air Regulator
- The customer will connect their compressor to the master air regulator with a standard ¼” Female Quick disconnect air hose. The master regulator is connected to two sub regulators with gauges for the air pump and the bubble dry system.
- Bonding
- The main tank frame and pump frame are bonded together by a green wire. A 15’ extension of this wire is provided with the system, and should be connected to a ground spike or other earth ground. When using the Methanol/Methylate air driven pump, its bonding wire should be attached to the pump frame and the supply barrel.
- Accessories
- Included: Oil Titration Kit, User Safety Kit
- Processor Size
- Footprint: 8 x 4 feet, Height 6.5 feet
- Shipping
- 40 x 48” pallet for Processor System Section
- 48 x 48” pallet for Wash Tank Section
FuelMeister 400 Features
