    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    I'm working on my grower as well, maybe with a little help from young, so stay tuned.. Young - I was thinking about using the centrifuge like I do when I heat and clean the WVO I collect. The WVO Centrifuge will filter your oil to below .5 microns. WVO centrifuges will filter a | OIL...

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    Orren - that's a good point you bring up. I was just about to ask young if he thinks a centrifuge similar to a dieselcraft one I use to dewater/clean the WVO I get would also work on harvesting the oil from the algae.

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    I actually worked on an SCR duct at Plant Bowen during the summer in Cartersville, GA while in college for some cash. These monsterous multi-million $$ canuter-valves/cats clean the gas leaving the coal plants.. Like you said you pipe in the exhaust "food" into an on site bio plant and boom...

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    Word! I may have to email you at some point but right now im starting with a 300gal tank and then scale up once it's down. That idea you have for the truck based system is golden. I'd love to see that! It would benefit everybody while putting maj coing in your bank.

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    50 gals a year.. If you have that kinda land and time then for it. That goes for the bs feedstock biodiesel as well. Systems we are talking about produce all the time at a lower cost and don't compete with food. These systems can also be used by the little guys or even small co-ops using larger...

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    Yeah, no I totally agree. If you look at their choices from a logical standpoint they are clueless. From sucking up acreage for corn to burn (instead of eat) being hydroscopic as all get out, ps: boaters thank you US gov't so much for that... as it phase seperates and absorbs water in our...

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    You're awesome bro! Glad we are chatting about this. I am big on the algae, I just wanted to use the wvo to get a little stock pile of cheap fuel for my trucks. The veg oil in my mind is stupid as a fuel source in terms of large scale when you compare food crops acre/yields vs algae yields...

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    Ha, I'll check that out then. I will have my full scale biodiesel processor constructed in a week or so, tracking down a used water heater now. Got the pumps, fittings, plans, etc.. Have a few 300gal totes and picking up some 55gal barrels tommorow. Def going to soak up as much WVO as i can...

    6.2 N/A or 6.5HMMWV turbo engine running upright???

    Hahahaaaaa!!!!!!:drool: Love it. Good points. I am waiting for some to roll thru Jax sometime. I'd like to pick up some 6.2s just for spares and the 6.5T if they ever show up. If the rear seal could be handled (I wonder how outboard engines do it?) maybe some small oil piping could be used...

    6.2 N/A or 6.5HMMWV turbo engine running upright???

    Can one of these engines (pref a 6.5 center turbo) be run in an upright position? Water pump up, turbo down oreintation using a dry sump oiling system? Would there be any issues with the oil on the rockers, cam, etc? Seems the dry sump system can be used to scavenge for the turbo oiling. I...

    Pics of a M1009 in the bed of a deuce???

    Ooh, yeah that sounds like a better plan. Might be better in the longer model deuce bed, with serious tie downs installed like you said, and maybe a headache rack to boot! Glad to know I wasn't crazy for thinking it :cookoo:. I have no way of even getting it in there anyhow but thought it was...

    Pics of a M1009 in the bed of a deuce???

    I'm not condoning it but weight really shouldn't be an issue other than the loading on the ramps. The 09 is just over 5K roughly. May be a top heavy load though like you were saying. I was just wanting to see if there were any wildmen out there that did it and had pics.

    Pics of a M1009 in the bed of a deuce???

    I saw an old 2004 thread about a truck but no pics. The 1009 seems like it would be a decent fit at 80"~ track and the bed being 96" wide. The length is 184 and the length of the bed is 144, 1009 wheelbase is 106~ so maybe a no go. Just wondered if anyone had any pics? Would need some serious...

    New M1009 CUCV owner!!

    Ok, had the Tuff Country's ordered but it bacemae a mess with incorrect pricing so that is canceled. I am tempted to use some mid 90's F150 3" wide springs that come with lift blocks and u-bolts for dirt cheap off CL and use the pack as is or even mix and match into mine to get the right height...

    New M1009 CUCV owner!!

    Good catch! I'm Jax Bch but from Ft. Lauderdale. Rodger that sir! Looks like that will be the way to go, one step deal, no painting on top of black liner. Thank you for that info. Good info on that. I swapped my Dodge Ram suspension out for Reg Cab SRT-10 stuff...

    Wow! Congrats on the successful recovery especially since you drove it back. Love the twins on the 205. Maybe some picks of that sweet LR you mentioned?[thumbzup]

    New M1009 CUCV owner!!

    Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Something definitely woring with me in that I get stoked over old stuff more that the new stuff. Plus I've had 2 civvy K5 blazers before this in college, 84 and 85 but both 350s. Swapped the rear on the 85 to a HD van 14FF with discbrakes. This M1009 is keeping the...

    Newbie checking out a deuce today??

    Sorry guys for no updates, not that this is a crazy build thread by any means. Been crazy sick with a wicked chest infection/bronchitis so everything has been on pause.. Even still the brain never stops. Been thinking about my top mount a/c compressor. The cross mount bracket that runs from...
