This is a parts list and description of my KH dewatering and filter set up which includes a bypass to keep the filters within there pressure rating

What it does

The wvo goes into the drum via a 400 micron drum filter,its then heated with the option of circulating to speed dewatering,it is then pumped into the storage drum via 20 and 5 micron filters,most filters are rated at 0.8 bar so there is a bypass valve which ensures the oil is never forced through the filters,from the storage drum the oil goes through a 1 micron filter to the car/drums

Safety features

There is a float switch which cuts out the pump at low oil levels and if either filter blocks the bypass valve will send the oil back into the main drum where it will just circulate in a loop

What i was trying to achieve

My aim was to make a self contained filter unit to which you can add extra storage drums as needed but to also be affordable
