Why are there extension lances on the suction hose as well as on the return hose of the filtration unit?
The extension lances need to be positioned in your ‘FINAL POLISH’ IBC and positioned as far apart as possible in order to ensure maximum circulation. This circulation will allow the elements sufficient time to absorb water and remove contaminants from the biodiesel. The longer the circulation time, the better the filtration efficiency of the elements and cleanliness of the fuel. We need to increase our production but don’t have time for settling and filtration. Storage units can be purchased very cheaply these days. The key to quality biodiesel production is adequate settling stages and multi-pass filtration. Alternatively, if time is an issue you may wish to consider “dry washing” as it has numerous advantages over conventional wet washing.
