Centrifuge and Methanol Removal/Recovery Products

PC-5 DM-5

Biodiesel/Glycerin Methanol
separation Recovery for
up to Biodiesel AND
Glycerol
5 gpm up to

(18.9 lpm.) 5 gpm (18.9 lpm).

Both the PC-5 & DM-5

- 8 week lead time

- 50% down at time of order
- 100% to be paid in full at time of shipment

PC-5 features:

• Base List Price $22,750 USD plus shipping and applicable taxes
• Better value and lower maintenance than comparable flow rate conventional
technology centrifuges
• Operational within 60 seconds of startup; shuts down in 30 sec.
• All controls are oil gasketed
 • Basic model uses NEMA 4 enclosures
• Flow rates up to 5 gallons per minute (18.9 liters per minute) of incoming product
for separation; fully variable down to 2 gpm
This will satisfy the needs of a 416,000 gpy (1.57 million lpy) biodiesel production
plant based on 8 hours per day for 5 business day weeks
If run continuously for 24 hours a day 7 days a week, it will process over
2.18 million gallons (8.2 million liters) per year
• Recommended cleaning cycle: ten minutes every 250 gallons processed
• Two or more PC-5's can be operated in parallel to increase separation
throughput capacity
• Power requirements: 2 HP motor needs 208-240VAC Single Phase (50/60 Hertz)
20 Amp circuit, 7.5 Amps continuous load

Options:

• Explosion-Proof Class 1 Division 2 parts and air purged enclosures (for

North America):
Price: $3,250 USD
• ATEX zone 2 group IIB rating (for Europe):
Price: $3,500 USD
• Push Button Cleaning Cycle system
Price: $4,800 USD
• Push Button Automatic operation: allows for complete operation, startup and
shutdown by one button push. Very useful in a PLC-controlled plant
Price: $3,500 USD without feed pump, $4,500 with feed pump

DM-5 features:

• Continuous methanol recovery for reuse after a biodiesel reaction from combined
reactant products of biodiesel and glycerol at a flow rate of 5 gpm (18.9 lpm)
- Base List Price: $59,000 USD + shipping
- Includes Class 1 Division 2 Air Purged Enclosure
- Intrinsically safe barrier for parts in contact with methanol
- Includes 5 ton chiller and chiller tank reservoir and pump
- Includes pump to move demethylated products from vacuum to 13 psi (30 feet
of head) at 5 gpm.
Options:
- Sump tank(s) for biodiesel or glycerol pumping after separation integrated into
electrical enclosure. Signal can power a contactor to run a pump to transfer the
product.
List Price: $2,500 USD each tank.
- Additional flow switch for multiple holding or reactor tanks to allow for
continuous flow from multiple tanks.
List Price: $1,200 USD each additional flow switch.
 - EV-5 batch flash evaporator that recovers the residual methanol from the
separated biodiesel. Tied to DM-5 to vacuum recover the methanol. Uses 22.5
kW of power.
List Price: $19,000 USD
• Power requirements: 208-240VAC Single Phase (50/60 Hertz) 30 Amp circuit, 20
Amps continuous
• Automatic operation with a PC-5 centrifuge (when purchased at the same time).
One push of a button starts the process when fluids are available. When fluids
run out or there is a fault condition, the system goes through a shutdown phase.
• Built in fault checking (motors, low fluid, etc.) with automatic shutdown or
emergency shutdown.
