@@nanoxynergies7984 all the machines that I've had a few all ran at higher temperatures or distillation will stop even when unit had a flow of fresh oil into the reactor chamber
@@tonydiesel3444 if production stops then obviously it means you have lowered the temperatures inside the reactor. Try employing a pre heater for a smoother continuous feed production
Wow! Just amazing to see you've built a larger unit and also the quality of the output is just phenomenal. Congratulations. One quick question, Can activated carbon be used as a catalyst since in Kenya its hard to get hold of zeolite or is there another way around it? Thanks.
Hey. I have read of the possibility of employing activated carbon as a catalyst but I personally haven't used it. There are a lot of ways to circumvent the catalyst challenge and come up with a good product
I believe that just distilling motor oil won't make diesel for this will be producing too much soot due to the high amount of large hydrocarbons. You should add a catalytic cracker to break these large atoms into smaller hydrocarbons. Though this would be really $$$.
Thats true, simple distillation wont do. But with good chemical engineering, like in my case, you can effect thermal scissoring of the long chain hydrocarbons to match those of premium diesel.
@@nanoxynergies7984you're doing a wonderful job that's why I immediately had to subscribe. I did a setup similar to yours with the intention of using plastics. However, since my plastics crusher isn't ready yet, I have been thinking of using waste oil temporarily.

Hi Tony. I really appreciate you buying blueprints from me. Thank you mate. Can you contact me on the gmail account we have been using. Again....thanks buddy!
The production rate is a function of the amount of heated oil inside the reactor. Since I do not have automation and level sensing it fluctuates. But on peak its 50 litres per hour. Given it takes an hour for production to start, to get 500 litres you need around 12 hours of production time.
@@nanoxynergies7984thanks for this creative work brother. I have been doing this with plastics and have overcome many difficulties. But using waste oil is totally new to me. If you don't mind, what are the challenges? Do you simply get a good product after distillation or there's more to this?
Hello, I'm gonna use 2.7kw heating element to heat 10 liters of waste motor oil to produce diesel like you do... do you think that it will be enough of heating power to produce decent amount? do you have any guess how much could I get per hour?
@@antoniosestar3671 with ceramic heaters the heat is too focused in the pipe. You wont be distilling but rather frying the oil. Expect loads of white smoke ( I assume its light naphtha). Try band heaters
@@nanoxynergies7984 The band heater are not that large for my 10L barrel, also too weak (400w)... my ceramic heater can get up to 700c... Isn't that enough for distillation?
@@antoniosestar3671 my point exactly, 700 °C is way too much. If you can maintain the reactor temperature at about 450°C to 500°C then 400°C at the top of reflux you will get good diesel quality at around 80 percent conversion. At 700°C your liquid condensate yeild is low. The naphtha is hard to condense. It will just come out as white smoke. Also expect lots of petroleum coking around the tube on the inside.

The methods I told you work. I think the problem is the quality of the diesel you are getting in your straight run.
@@nanoxynergies7984 all the machines that I've had a few all ran at higher temperatures or distillation will stop even when unit had a flow of fresh oil into the reactor chamber
@@nanoxynergies7984 all the machines also all made the same oil exactly the same same density and everything
@@nanoxynergies7984 I mostly distill automatic transmission fluid that is been used
@@tonydiesel3444 if production stops then obviously it means you have lowered the temperatures inside the reactor. Try employing a pre heater for a smoother continuous feed production
Have you tried to store the diesel for 2 straight days.. thermal oxidation sets in, fuel darkened.
That's why you have to use sulfuric acid

Hello, when you start the process do you fill the system with carbon dioxide or do you let the normal air in the system?
Hey, no. Apparently I don't purge the system. This is bush engineering lol
Mr. Cabinet Good afternoon very interesting "but"
Im listening.
Glad to have helped:-)
Hi Tony. I really appreciate you buying blueprints from me. Thank you mate. Can you contact me on the gmail account we have been using. Again....thanks buddy!
@@nanoxynergies7984 ok
how much is your production and how long does the production process take per day???
The production rate is a function of the amount of heated oil inside the reactor. Since I do not have automation and level sensing it fluctuates. But on peak its 50 litres per hour.
Given it takes an hour for production to start, to get 500 litres you need around 12 hours of production time.
Great invention, great invention x a million tiems!
Thanks hey
Are you sure that this boiler can produce 500 liters per day?
Yes. Please contact me on +263 779 715 341 ( WhatsApp) and I will send you videos of it working.
Great work💪
Thanks

This is amazing.
Now I will collect used oil from my entire neighborhood, and never buy fuel again.
Okay!!!
Guess this the second distillation ?
Nop. Didnt you see the black oil in the feed hopper?
