Waste Vegetable Oil

Raw and waste vegetable oils can quickly rot. Great precision and speed is required from centrifuge systems to treat the wash water. Decanter centrifuges are perfect for raw and waste vegetable oils thanks to the decanter centrifuge's precision components, design and high dewatering capacity.

Waste vegetable oil centrifuges are being utilized in biofuel production. Waste vegetable oil (WVO) can be modified for use as a substitute to diesel in a relatively simple process. The waste vegetable oil conversion process begins with filtering vegetable oil. Often, waste vegetable oil is from used cooking oil from restaurants. US Centrifuge Systems liquid-solid separation, solids dewatering and fluid clarification technologies provide efficient centrifuge liquid clarification of waste vegetable oil.

Centrifugal Technology

US Centrifuge Systems offers centrifugal technology for clarifying raw and waste vegetable oils for large and small volume bio-diesel producers.

US Centrifuge Systems offers a wide capacity and price range of equipment from horizontal continuous cleaning decanter centrifuges and automatic vertical semi-batch self-cleaning centrifuges as well as smaller manual clean units for centrifugal clarification and solids removal from WVO, used cooking oil, raw vegetable oils, animal fats, and restaurant greases prior to being chemically altered through the transesterification process. The centrifuges can separate solid particulates as small as 2-micron. Maximizing centrifuge capacities and separation potential typically requires processing the oil warm and or heating the oil within a range of 140°F up to 180°F to achieve the best results.
