Polishing Systems

As the final step in the production process, polishing gives the producer total peace of mind that the fuel produced is clean and dry. Final polishing is a fundamental part of the overall production process and one that is far too frequently overlooked. Schroeder Biofuels offers units developed with user friendly technology to control product quality.  Want More Information on Final Polishing?

*NEW Mini Final Polishing Unit (FPM)

The BD5000 utilizes the same high performance filtration that has become the industry standard for BioDiesel polishing, this new range offers many of the advantages of the larger systems at a fraction of the price. Even with a dry wash process, the hygroscopic nature of BioDiesel will result in gradual moisture ingress which must be effectively removed prior to use or sold (to meet ASTM or EN specification).  This system can be used for all ranges of BioDiesel and Diesel Fuels.

Schroeder Meltblown Housing (BCH)

The Schroeder depth filter cartridges and housings are a reliable, versatile and low cost solution to numerous filtration needs. These graded density elements, made from 100% pure polypropylene fibers, offer a high dirt holding capacity. By trapping the larger sized particles on the outside of the element while the smaller particles are trapped closer to the element’s core, these elements can filter as fine as 1µ while still maintaining a low pressure drop. This product line offers various sizes and styles of housings to fit a wide variety of application

 

Housing Material:	Polypropylene / Stainless Steel
Max Operating Temperature:	100°F (37°C)
Max Working Pressure:	125 psi (8.63 bar) / 150 psi (10.35 bar)
O-ring:	Viton or Buna-N / Viton or EPDM
