Zeppelin continuous separator update

Biodys now offers kits to convert horizontal ‘cigar’ shaped tanks into continuous biodiesel/glycerol or oil/water separators. Moving from batch based biodiesel production to continuous production almost always leads to a problem in the separation phase. Either separation is non-continuous as with batch, or it requires an expensive centrifuge system.

With Zeppelin technology, biodiesel producers can use any horizontal shaped tank as a continuous separator.

Thanks to a unique interface detection, the Zeppelin system allows an unattended low cost continuous separation. The interface between light and heavy phase is kept on a constant level. The Zeppelin system uses only a fraction of the energy required by centrifuges. It can be installed in most explosion proof environments where centrifuges are not allowed or are too expensive.
