I have read and re-read the threads here in alternative fuels and I've watched the vids and read the info on Simple Centrifuge.com, so please firgive me if this has been covered, but have some questions still...
I will refer to the turn-key centrifuge on SImple Centrifuge in these questions.
As I understand it, you know when the centrifuge is full when, while you are pouring in the WMO, the material you are spinning out gets to the "lip" of the bowl as it spins, correct?
At what point do you know that the material is finally clean? Let's say the centrifuge bowl holds two gallons (I have no idea how much it actually holds). Do you look at the WMO and say, "Yep, that looks pretty dirty. I autta run 'er for about two hours in the centrifuge..." Is there a rule of thumb one uses to determine when the WMO is finally clean?
My old job sells its WMO to a company for about .15 cents per gallon. Knowing what goes on at my old employ, there is all manner of other waste in the "WMO", like antifreeze, speedy-dry, etc. My question here is, in the end, it doesn't matter what's in the WMO, since it will all get spun out of the oil anyway, right?
The bummer is that the business will no longer let guys roll up in pick up trucks and fill 55 gallon drums with WMO because they are afraid if there were an accident on the road and the WMO went all over, someone could sue them. I might be able to get away with three or four, five gallon pails since I get along great with everyone there, even the owners and board members. (fingers crossed).
Thank you for any info!
