How long will the SDFC-W water removal elements last?
Each filter cartridge will hold 800 ml of water as well as 2kg of solid contamination. The BD6000 (2 pot unit) will absorb 1.6 litres of water per element change-out. A 4 pot version is available for larger production quantities and will remove twice this amount per element changeout. Our new 6 and 8 pot models are now available for even larger production through-put. The amount of water present in your biodiesel can be significantly reduced by allowing longer settling times and better drying methods. Additional settling processes such as “bubbling” and ‘drying” are encouraged and would allow for longer element life. We offer very attractive price breaks for larger quantity purchases of SDFC-W elements. We have seen a major trend-shift from wet washing to dry washing over the last year. With dry washing the element life is significantly increased due to the reduced moisture content, thereby allowing the elements to concentrate on particulate removal, which extends the element life sign
