Biodiesel Processors
![]() 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. |
![]() 20 Liters Dr Pepper StyleMany of us are familiar with making biodiesel in a two liter Dr Pepper Bottle. Craiggy from New Zealand has made a few videos showing how he makes biodiesel. It is surprisingly similar to the Dr. Pepper method. |

![]() Drum Based Biodiesel ProcessorJoe_M is a regular on the infopop forum and owner of Rilla BioFuels LLC. He makes his biodiesel in a 55 gallon drum with some rather unique plumbing. His design is effective and inexpensive. |
![]() Biodiesel Logic ProcessorsBiodiesel Logic manufactured a line of biodiesel processors for commercial and semi commercial use. Here are some photos I took when I visited their manufacturing facility in 2008. |
![]() Dynadroit Biodiesel Processor GalleryThe Dynadroit Biodiesel Processor was available from about 2006 to 2008. It was one of the fist all metal processor to become available. |
![]() The Ester Machine GalleryThe Ester Machine was manufactured in the 2006 to 2010 timeframe. Here are some pictures |
DIY Processor Examples
![]() Chuck's AppleseedChuck posted his Appleseed setup pictures in his blog. He uses an Appleseed, a mist wash tank, settling tanks, dry tank, and a methanol still to make his biodiesel.
