Algae is the fastest growing plant life, and as an organism it converts sunlight into oil, scientists theorize that Algal biofuel can produce a whopping 30 times more energy per acre than any other biofuel option. The US Department of Energy has estimated that if Algal Biofuel replaced all conventional fuel in the country, it would require 15,000 square miles of land to harvest the algae… which is roughly one seventh of the area that is used to harvest corn in the US every year. And a diverse group of byproducts, such as neutraceuticals and feedstocks for producing plastics, can be created in algal biofuel operations, making the production more cost effective. But before we start celebrating the great biofuel solution we’ve been looking for, there are a few problems… the biomass for producing a significant amount of algal biofuel just doesn’t exist yet. The algae has to be grown from scratch and harvesting it is very expensive at this point in time. The potential of Algal Biofuel is staggering… but the problem is that, as of now, it’s all just potential. It might be years before the technology catches up to make producing algal biofuel on a large scale possible… but when that time comes, we might be able to finally celebrate a more efficient, renewable, and environmentally friendly energy source.

The video is about my WVO fuel system that I built and use to fuel one of my trucks. It shows the stainless steel settling tank, the valve, quick coupler and hoses going the the filtration part of the system. The filter consists of two PBH-420-15 Pentek PBH-420 Polypropylene Bag Filter Housing found here:

Here is a link to the actual filter sock or bag this is the 25 micron one. I believe that starting with a 25 and ending with a 5 may be close to the way to go depending on the quality of the oil. High quality oil is the only way to go in the long run. The poor quality oils, there is a fair amount of waste involved and it just plugs the filters

I went with all 1.5 pipe inlets and outlets on all my filters and adapted down to 1. I figured that way if I ever wanted to redo to system with only one of the bigger pumps it would be easy that way.

Basically I found everything either at a farm store, harbor freight tools or online. The pumps on the truck are roller pumps that I found used on craigslist. They work much better than the Harbor Freight pumps on the filers. The cheap pumps work great if you have gravity feed going in, but not if you have to lift the fluid. Roller or gear pumps are better that the propeller type pump as far as self priming goes. A vac truck would be the ideal way to collect the oil.

The Harbor Freight Tools 1″ Clear Water Pump can be found here:

The 1997 Ford Powerstroke

Has a two tanks, one being heated with engine antifreeze. The fuel line going to the engine is also heated. It is made by taking a fuel hose and running it inside of the heater hose that goes to the tank. I’ll have more detail on this in a later video and post, but search the internet for info on exactly how it is done. The fuel mileage and power using this system is noticeably less but I have free fuel. Replacing filters are a fraction of the cost of buying fuel, plus my money is not going to line Big Oil’s pocketbook and oil wars anymore.

The Truck Mods Include
Superchips Max Microtuner programmer
Custom Home Built 5″ Exhaust
Customized “Hacked” Factory Air Intake and K&N filter
Rebuilt 160cc Injectors
Custom Home Built WVO Conversion System
Home Built Propane Injection Kit
Home Built Water Meth Injection Kit

I have a few more videos and posts to make but you get the idea. I also have a home built hydrogen extractor on my 1996 VW Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 It needs a lot of work yet, but I think that is the fuel of choice for the future. There are actually machines that can make and store hydrogen from solar power electricity on the market now. My system creates it on demand from water under the hood using electricity from the battery.

Comment any questions and I will comment back.

APInnovations
1012 E. 22nd
Stuttgart, AR 72160
870-673-3030

http://www.apinnovations.com

With our engineering teams expertise, there is no substitute for APInnovations when it comes to world class biofuels processing techniques. From biodiesel to ethanol, APInnovations is ready to ist you with anything you need from engineering, to equipment supply, to full turn key projects with your satisfaction guaranteed.

When you consider the purchase of a biodiesel plant, here are four questions you should ask:

1. How many plants has your company actually built and can we tour one of them? (There are several companies with seemingly good ideas, but they have never built a plant! We have designed and installed thirteen in the U.S. alone!)

2. Does your company actually do the building of the plant, or do you simply sell them? (We design, build, install, and commission all our plants! And we train your employees!)

3. Is your company capable of being bonded for the project? (Companies that only sell plants will not be able to secure a bond. Only the company that builds will be bondable. How is your money protected?)

4. Will your company be able to provide the balance of plant services or do you simply sell the biodiesel processor? (We provide full service. Many companies simply sell the processor or at best, subcontract the balance of plant. We do our own work!)

Other facts about APInnovations…

· Owned and operated by two industry recognized engineers with over 60 years of experience, the principals at API have designed, manufactured and installed over 20 biodiesel plants worldwide.

· Equally important, the principals at API designed, built and manufactured their own biodiesel plant, and thus are intimately familiar with plant management and operations.

· The API engineers use a waterless biodiesel system that eliminates environmental concerns.

· API offers a variety of services ranging from feasibility studies, consulting and plant design, to manufacture of biodiesel processors, to total turn-key biodiesel operations.

· APFabrications (API affiliate), is a premier manufacturer of biodiesel plants for the pre-treatment and transesterification of biodiesel from seed oils, animal fats and a variety of other feed stocks.

· API also offers additional products for seed crushing, oil refining, FFA treatment, and glycerin purification.

For biodiesel plants of 3MM gallons/year and up, API has both the knowledge and the experience to make your biodiesel operation a success.

Solazyme Unveils Renewable Biodiesel Derived from Algae via Scalable Process

First car powered by algal biodiesel to demonstrate real-world driving at Sundance

Solazyme, Inc., a synthetic biology company unleashing the power of aquatic microbes to create clean and scalable solutions for biofuel, industrial chemical, and health and wellness markets, today revealed the first ever algae-derived biodiesel fuel (Soladiesel™) to have undergone road testing by successfully powering a factory-standard automobile for long distances under typical driving conditions. The car and fuel will make their public debuts at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, where they are also featured in Fields of Fuel, Josh Tickell’s documentary about renewable fuels. Soladiesel biodiesel is clean, renewable, environmentally sustainable and scalable.
