FREE SHIPPING — BioPro 380 Biodiesel Processor, Model# ADBP-380

Description

BioPro Automated Biodiesel Processor is a stainless steel industrial-grade processor that converts organic oils into an alternative fuel — biodiesel — through acid/base catalyzed chemical reactions. The oil is altered to allow it to run efficiently in an unmodified diesel engine. The BioPro 380 is designed for self-contained operation, with very little user interaction: no metering or mixing chemicals. Simply add the required ingredients, press the Big Green Button and walk away. The oil can be any organic oil (tallow, fats, vegetable oil, etc.), but in most cases, waste vegetable oil is commonly used to make biodiesel due to its wide availability. U.S.A.
