Mixoil of Ecogras: recycling of frying oil and fuel oil

1) No it's not forbidden but it's better to publish information that benefits everyone rather than redirect to a two-person exchange ...

2) For your test was it used or new oil?

3) For acetone it is not so bad (contrary to what I thought until recently) compared to the environment, it is even a product that could be qualified as "almost natural" since it is can produce it from wood. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ac%C3%A9tone

0.16% for oil is not enough, you need at least 0.5%, even 1% depending on oil quality etc ... to try it out! results depend on engine technology ...

1) I understand better. I'm trying to send you a file that deals with the transformation of a burner. https://www.econologie.info/share/partag ... rKQ3th.pdf

Our multi-fuel burner is SEET brand. It is more reserved for large boilers.

2) The test was done with used oil.

3) So much the better. We are careful with the percentage of acetone because it is not a harmless product for mechanics. The goal is above all a better conservation. The effect of acetone coupled with an opaque tank storage guarantees long-term use.

So you can easily mix used oil with heating oil? no deposit risk?

[Christophe]

Well if it's (really) used oil that freezes at room temperature, I have some doubts anyway ...

Who will test will know!

Keep a good currency!

Christophe O, thank you for the doc in .pdf

If you want, I can put it in the downloads section. Because it will interest a lot of people I think, a few loose topics on the subject:

I was talking about oil that doesn't freeze at room temperature, that's what we use at home.
Otherwise it would be necessary to heat the oil to be able to mix it with fuel oil.

Thank you for making the point. I therefore specify that the recycled oil is sunflower or "special frying" without palm olein. Peanuts are also not recommended because of their initial viscosity and their allergenic effects.

Found on Quanthomme:

Mix oil and water

Professor Pashley, a chemist at the Australian National University, discovered two years ago that water and oil can mix if the gases dissolved in the water are extracted and the emulsion remains even after reintroduction of the gases. Degassing is obtained by successive freezing and vacuum pumping cycles. The applications of this discovery are numerous and varied, in particular in pharmacology and in the chemical industry.

Pharmacology: Currently about 40% of the active ingredients in the formulas are fat-soluble or difficult to mix with water, blood or other moods. To transform them into drugs, they are usually dissolved in a lipid vehicle, and a detergent-type adjuvant is used to dissolve the lipid solution in water. Excipients may cause side effects. Professor Pashto and Dr Francis, also from ANU, have shown that this technique can be used to mix the active ingredients of a formulation in water, serum or blood.

Chemical industry: cleaning with water. Cleaning oil and grease stains with pure water would also be possible. The degassed water is capable of dispersing hydrophobic substances. This effect seems to be due to the reduction of the natural phenomenon of cavitation which opposes the dispersion in water of the droplets of hydrophobic liquids. Indeed, the oxygen and nitrogen bubbles contained in normal water accumulate on the surface of hydrophobic substances which are brought into contact with water. This layer of gas molecules causes larger bubbles to form between the hydrophobic surfaces which, attracted by the forces resulting from surface tension, are difficult to separate. In addition, degassing of oils increases the effectiveness of this effect. The water is degassed by pumping through a porous membrane and is then vaporized on the surfaces to be cleaned.

Hello

In the summer I spend two 45-gallon barrels 440litres peanut oil in diesel 100% Canola fall.
(to prevent bacteria you boil it over 100c once cooled you add a small% of ordinary gasoline, well stirred and it keeps without foaming for several months.

(frying oil, empty directly into a diesel tank, goes directly to the bottom and it is not long 5km you plug your filter, we must mix it in a portion of diesel before putting it in the tank. .
