Complete system for making biodiesel at home or small business with everything needed to produce up to 50 gallons every two days, for as little as 85 cents per gallon if you can obtain a source of free used oil. Highlight of the system is a used BioPro 190, which is is an automated batch processor that will convert 50 gallons of vegetable or animal oil into 50 gallons of premium-grade biodiesel. Much like a washing machine, a user need only load the machine, turn it on and press the big green Start button. New models cost $11,820 plus tax and shipping. The machine for sale here is several years old (and greasy, as is everything used to make biodiesel!). The BioPro needs two parts replaced, which I have on hand -- the methoxide mixing paddle, and the fuel dispensing pump, which anyone who is stalwart enough to take on this endeavor should be handy enough to install.
Included with the BioPro are all the accouterments needed to make your own biodiesel:
A 300 gallon tote for finished fuel, with electric fuel dispenser and meter.
Dozens of five gallon fuel "cans," including 7 steel diesel cans, 8 yellow diesel plastic cans, 8 red plastic (gas) cans, and about two dozen plastic carboys.
Around eighteen 50 gallon drums for collection and storage of oil and/or finished fuel.
Five collection lids for the drums.
300 gallon tote for oil collection.
Drum handcart and drum dolly.
Electric methanol pump.
Several hand pumps and electric drum pumps.
Gas-powered oil collection pump.
Various other supplies e.g., filters, bung wrenches, scales, etc.
Materials needed to make biodiesel are the oil stock, water, methanol, KOH (potassium hydroxide), and sulfuric acid, which you will need to source.
Priced at retail and if new, this entire setup would cost in the neighborhood of $18,000, not taking into account sales tax and shipping. However, all of these items are well-used, so I am offering the entire lot for a out a third of that, as-is, at $6,500. I will not piece out the equipment and the buyer must take everything.
This system is perfect for the enterprising farmer, family who owns several diesel vehicles, or even a co-op of like-minded individuals who can share the work of collection and production. As fuel prices fluctuate and rise, it is very empowering to be in control of your own transportation costs.
I collected restaurant oil and made biodiesel for several years. However, it has been about four years since I stopped, and now I just want to sell the setup without questions or hassle. In other words, you will need to do your own research prior to purchasing this, be experienced with the process, or just be willing to boldly take on a new project and learn as you go. Buyer is responsible for all pickup logistics. Equipment is currently located in North Everett.
