Folks,

Just ran across this. Will this work for separating WVO from Water (free and emulsified).
Will this be easy to fabricate?

Certainly looks interesting. One question is most people here deal with more oil than water with what they show in diagram, although in principle the unit should still work. Thing would be to reduce whole unit to size of 55 gal drum.

Interesting. One thing that does not make since to me may just be a drawing/coloring error. It looks to me that the second and third drums volume amount is wrong. Won't they only have a volume level only as high as the standpipe of their neighbor? Unless of course new dirty product keeps getting added to the first drum and moved on as designed thru to the other drums.

Jojo,

The unit you show is for removing oil from water..not water from oil. What you get is fairly oil free water and very water enriched oil. I don't think it will work to produce water free oil...which is what I think you are asking.

this appears to be just a grease trap for companys that have grease in thier waste water, like a resturant. most cities dont allow your grease to enter thier sewer, so you trap it.

it is just like a setteling drum. i dont see a benifit for WVO users.

I have not seen it in action, but,I beleive it's a batch system, once it's full, you remove oil from the right. Then you move from the middle drum to the right one letting the levels equalize. do that again with the drum on the right and you make room for dirty oil. I'm not sure about the levels of the standpipes. He goes into fine detail in his blog.
