Paddy's text here File:TT700A 01.jpg The Twyn Tub or 'TT' range of processors from Goat Industriesare an industrial type of design that produces biodiesel to the European standard, EN14214. The process starts off in the left hand tank, that has heating elements inserted and the main reaction takes place in the right hand tank, which is compltely free of any electrical items. The plant was designed to be as safe as reasonly possible without using extortionately expensive components and isolating the reaction stage of the process was found to be the most cost effective way of doing this.


This design is intended for use with a Goat Industries Biodiesel Processor and is suitable for industrial installations where health and safety is a major concern.

Whilst DIY designs are fine for one's own garage or garden shed, where no other person is involved than one's self, an industrial design needs to take more consideration in terms of the risk of accident and needs to be generally more robust and intrinsically safe. Methanol itself is an extremely hazardous chemical and is both highly toxic and inflammable. Methanol fumes are also highly explosive. In an industrial application it is important to minimise the risk to other people and their property in the nearby vacinity.
