The three-phase centrifuge divides feed into solids, water and FOG from the grease trap or other biodiesel production sources. Inside the centrifuge, lighter oil separates from the water and discharges through an adjustable nozzle, while the heavier solids dewater and discharge from the opposite end. Centrifuges are available with flow rates of 5 to 700 gpm and can be a stationary skid-mounted unit or a mobile trailer. 262-654-6006; www.centrisys.com


Chemical/Polymer Feeding Equipment

AdEdge Water Technologies ADIN CO2

The ADIN CO2 injection system from AdEdge Water Technologies is an alternative to other methods of alkalinity control and pH reduction. It’s ideal for the reduction of alkalinity prior to primary treatment components for optimizing contaminant removal. The system uses carbon dioxide gas, which when released in water, forms carbonic acid — a weak acid that immediately reacts with alkalis to reduce pH. As a gas, carbon dioxide is inert, noncorrosive and easy to store. With the use of the included monitoring equipment and injector, the control panel can be used in several different configurations to reduce pH. The automatic systems use a pH probe downstream of the system to regulate the amount of carbon dioxide being injected into the water. An injector and mixer are provided with all systems for optimal injection. A manifold and regulators are provided for carbon dioxide cylinders. 866-323-3343; www.adedgetechnologies.com


Clean Waters Poly-Solv 02

Designed for flushing liquid/emulsion polymer blending units, the Poly-Solv 02 polymer blending unit system flush from Clean Waters is a blend of mineral oils, detergents and surfactants that helps keep a blending unit performing at peak capacity. Over time polymer will leave deposits in blending units’ internal components. These deposits will inhibit pumping and mixing, reducing the effectiveness of the polymer and costing you more money. Benefits of incorporating this system flush into a blending unit preventive maintenance program include reduced maintenance, less downtime, more effective polymer mixing (reducing polymer consumption), easier startup and fewer pumping issues. It also lubricates and extends the life of wear items in polymer feed pumps. 315-482-3787; www.cleanwaters.us
