The_AppleseedThe Appleseed Biodiesel Reactor is a water heater based processor design that anyone can build. |
The Appleturnover Biodiesel ProcessorThe traditional Appleseed Biodiesel Processor will trap a few liters of liquid in the bottom of the processor. Most people don't find this to be a problem, but some have decided to reduce the liquid trapped in the processor by turning it upside down. |
Joe Street's Vacuum Biodiesel Processor PlansJoe Street designed his water heater based processors and posted his plans for them on his web site Non-profit Fuel Cooperative using the creative commons copyleft. The pdf processor plans and the edited text in this article are from his web site |
The GL Eco-System ProcessorThis is a compact home made biodiesel processor which avoids water-washing and limits methanol release to very small amounts. You can also recover surplus methanol from your biodiesel, which would otherwise be lost in the wash water. |
JohnO's Semi-Continous ProcessorJohno, an industrial design engineer that hangs out on the infopop forum created this processor that makes 1.5 gallon batches all day long with very little hands on time. |
JohnO's Bucket Biodiesel MixerIn the search to find the safest and easiest to use bucket processor, this one stands out above the crowd. It was designed years ago by Johno, an industrial design engineer that hangs out on the infopop forum. |
