The BioPro 150 offers the same quality, ease of use, and safety that the BioPro 190 and the BioPro 380 are known for, but in a smaller, more economical package, producing 40 gallons of biodiesel every 48 hours. The BioPro 150 is constructed of 304 stainless steel, and all components are high quality, industrial grade.
The BioPro 150 operation is the same as the BioPro 190 with the following exceptions:
~After each automated spray wash or turbulent wash cycle, the waste water is drained off manually.
~One tank is employed to accommodate the methanol/ methoxide used for the esterification /transesterification reactions. At the beginning of the process, the user must stay with the machine for about 8 minutes while the methanol is pumped out of this tank into the main reaction vessel, after which catalyst and a second dose of methanol are added to the tank, and the user walks away.
~The BioPro 150 fuel pump is an optional item. The machine has a bracket for mounting the fueling pump and connects in the same way as the BioPro 190. (Picture is shown with the fuel pump and does not come standard with the unit).
