Biodiesel Processor Version 2.0

Second revision or part 2 of our processor project. Fixes and modification included inclosing the processor in a workshop to cool and keep the humidity at bay when it's humid outside. Also nice in the summer to keep it cool and warm in the winter. Added 2 extra tanks for oil to water wash the oil before processing to remove other water, food contaminents and other debris. Also added a tank for glycerol by product. That by product will then be distilled via a heat exchanger using hot water from a water heater and a condensor to cool the methanol vapor. We hope to recover 30-50% of our methanol for use on the next batches. Also hooked up a "autowash" pipe that autmatically drains the water off the bottom of the wash tank during mist washing so I can turn it on and leave it washing for 1 to 2 days without needing to monitor it. Finally the workbench is a great help in preparing the batches, tracking batches and usage.

@kenjifuse007 It was a great setup until the company that built it and I was running it for closed down. Bad economy sucks.

I enjoyed it though, very clean, very little hands on in the grease and for me free fuel for my part keeping the machine running.

Stupid question. Why do you lock up your sock filters but you don't lock up your processer and washers. Other than that it's a nice setup.
