LATEST GAPRI PROJECT:

The biodiesel processor is up and running!

We were luck to find a restaurant owner who had been saving his oil for a few months - it gave us enough to get a few batches rolling.

Yummy! Very good quality used oil

We have Biodiesel

Filling up with B100

Smells like... donuts - mmmmmmmmm............

Our prototype wash-water filter  - water heats in solar barrel - residual methanol evaporates and biodiesel separates on the top.

Water drains to a sand filter -  The cattails don't look too happy.  I think we need a third stage for the water plants.
