as above
stay tuned.... ::)

Nice pic ;D

heated filter upped now

I done a graphic too, took most of the evening! http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/GL_Processor

check my link again! alot more pics
still upping will check your link shortly...
well done chap :)

friggin awesome!!!
the oil in? where from?
love this diagram.
what app drew that?
-
disstillate part where does it come from? can only see a vent pipe?
-
It's done in CorelDRAW which is vector software not a bitmap. You have a lot more flexibility with vector drawings, but have to export them as a bitmap when finished.
The vapour circuit is from the connection on the top of the tank, through the condenser,back up and right to the venturi, which creates the suction/circulation for the circuit. The distillate (Water or Methanol, depending on the process) drops out in the condenser and runs into the distillate collection vessel. As the flow of distillate is very small it doesn't need a separate vent because it vents up the same tube.
-
Sorry, missed this bit ... Oil in from settling tank.
-
do you need a valve straight after venturi? to stop flow and make go to other 2 valves direction?
-
wont liquid going up vent pipe from distilate get half way up vent pipe and go down to glycerol container?
-
By it's design, oil won't go up the venturi suction unless the open pipe in the tank is blocked off. See http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/Casting_a_venturi or better still the venturi page when it's done!
The world of Bio is much more interesting that the veg world ... go on admit it!

impressive, but very confusing, truth for me is im lost.... with process.
build is baffling me aswell and routes for each part of process...
-
also i didnt mean venturi
im talking vent pipes only...
distilate you say goes up vent pipe, the vent pipe which is teed to the glycerol vent pipe in glycerol container, what stops (whatever goes up vent pipe from distialte = no idea) going down glycerol pipe vent into glycerol container????
-
There shouldn't be any liquid in the vapour circuit at the Tee off for the glycerol vent, it should have all come out in the condenser. Anyhow there's no flow through the glycerol container because its sealed and the drain valve is closed. The flow will only go to the venturi. Even if it were open it still won't take that route due to the circulating effect of the venturi see this diagram by GL

very interesting drawing!
what temp is the oil/process at to give off vapour to go to condensor?
is it methoxide going in distillate?
-
You can remove water from the oil, usually between 60 and 90°C and once converted remove the methanol from the bio or bio and glycerol if WBD between 40 and 75°C. Temps can vary depending on how much you want to get out.
The best basic knowledge can be had from GLs website at http://www.graham-laming.com/bd/ecosystem/state_diagram_new.htm This is where I copied the diagram from, he explains the process far better than I can.

what is WBD ?

thanks hehehe
i already tryed our system... it works... ;D
