The GL Processor is a design by Graham Laming (hence the GL) and has probably become most popular processor design for homebrew biodiesel production in the UK. The processor features built in dewatering and Methanol recovery capabilities, as well as protection against user exposure to Methanol vapour. The design also lends itself to a variety of production techniques.

Basic design
The design has been in existence for many years. It has been supplemented and improved by various users during this time. Below is a schematic of Graham’s basic design (with sight glass added) along with instructions on its use. Reproduced with kind permission from Graham. Although the design has been modified by others, Graham’s basic design is capable producing high quality Biodiesel and due to its simplicity of design is suitable for those new to home production.
