But is anyone out there running any pilot projects?
At 15,000 gallons per acre annual yield, based on the work done under the
"Aquatic Species Program", a demonstration facility seems like a given.
Anyone know of any?
Any implementation?
The technology seems very pretty straight forward.

I have been thinking for a while that one could probably do well for
cleaning up waste oil. Spin out particulates and water with no filtration
medium.
I have seen oil/water separators, and other centrifugal devices, like those
used to clean cutting/cooling fluids down to 1 micronand seems

Runs great! I would not rob a bank in it, but would drive across the

This is for final, point of use WVO (under hood).
In other words..what is the difference between the two?
Are there material compatibility issues?

When one collects WVO from the local fryer, all of the energy used to

Can NOX emission increases from the use of biodiesel be successfully dealt
with (at least brought back down to baseline) using a catalytic converter
(in the event a vehicle uses sulfur free b100 only) ?
If so, how does one size/choose the correct CC for the vehicle, or is there
anything to con
I understand the reduced emissions data with regards to usage of biodiesel
versus petro-diesel, but has anyone compiled a comparison with gasoline.
This, of course, would need to be on a per mile basis, not a per gallon
basis in order to take into consideration the increased efficiency of the

Hmm...good thought! ok..so why not? Seal the inner basket
In the ongoing quest of finding a better way to preprocess/filter WVO, I am
wondering if anyone out there has done anything using centrifuges?
Gravity settling works very well, but of course, takes time.
A centrifuge seems like a great way to spin out not only particulate
contaminates, but also

Other than direct compatibility with current oil burning devices, is there

Wow. This could be a major blow.
Does anyone know if this what AFV/alt fuel legislation from EPAct is
still intact?
