Tired Of Water Washing Biodiesel? Try Dry Washing Instead!
All Arbor Biofuels Towers Are On Back Order Until Feb. 15th

Description:
We've teamed up with Arbor Biofuels Company (ABC) to bring you this great line of Biodiesel Dry Wash Resin Towers. These Biodiesel dry wash towers are perfect for dry washing Biodiesel when using dry wash resins such as Amberlite, Purolite, Thermax, or other dry wash resins.

They're available in 6", 10", 12", 16", and 22" diameter towers. Each tower is sized perfectly to give you years of reliable service when using dry wash resins. Made of high strength steel and powder coated in yellow, these towers will not only allow you to dry wash your Biodiesel but will let you do it in style.


Why Use Arbor Biofuels Towers?
Unlike most Biodiesel Dry Wash Resin Towers on the market, these were designed from scratch to meet the needs of dry washing Biodiesel with dry wash resins. Everything about them from the materials used to the dimensions have been optimized to allow the dry wash resins to perform at their optimum levels.

During the design and testing phase, ABC worked with specialists from dry wash resin manufacturers to identify optimum heights, dimensions, and surface area necessary to obtain the best results when dry washing Biodiesel. Taking the knowledge learned from this extensive research, ABC then developed what we believe to be the best small scale Biodiesel dry wash towers available.

These towers have been designed to optimize the full use of dry wash resins such as Amberlite, Purolite, and Thermax. The dimensions, height, thickness, and resin support systems in these towers make them stand out from the rest of the competition.


All-Metal Construction

Unlike some of the competition, these towers are built to handle dry washing right! Instead of using PVC or poly components which are prone to cracking and splitting when dry washing, these towers are made of high strength steel. Even the resin support is an all-metal design.

Full Flowing
These towers allow the Biodiesel to fully flow through all of the dry wash resin. This means that your dry wash resin will last longer and wash your Biodiesel better because this design will allow full use of 100% of the resin. This ensures that each user can acheive the full 100+ gallons of Biodiesel purification per pound of resin used.

Superior Resin Support System
The resin support system built into the 6" & 10" towers is far superior to competitors on the market. Instead of using a single fine mesh screen placed at the bottom, ABC placed the resin support system above the very bottom of the tower. This allows the Biodiesel to fully flow through all of the resin instead of tunneling like in some designs. Also unique to these towers is the support system itself. Instead of having just a single mesh screen, this design utilizes two screens positioned at just the right angle welded inside a high strength resin support system. This unique design allows for better flowing of the Biodiesel as well as better filtering capabilities to keep the resin contained in the tower.

The 12", 16", and 22" towers have the absolute best in the industry ion support resin grid. These 170 micron wedge wire panels ensure proper Dry Wash Tower function, eliminating common compaction problems typical when using gel-type resins with stainless steel wire mesh screens.


The 12", 16", and 22" towers also come with a high quality site glass which greatly aids the operator with proper filling of the dry wash tower and allows the user to see when the resin bed has nearly reached its full expansion.

Modular Design

The ABC dry wash towers were designed with growth in mind. As your Biodiesel operation grows, so can your dry wash system! By building the towers so that they could be combined together, you can quickly add additional dry washing capacity to your Biodiesel production. Simply add another tower to the setup and you're good to go!

Expert Support
If you've studied up on dry washing Biodiesel, you'll quickly discover that the experts at Arbor Biofuels Company are at the top of their game! They know dry washing extremely well and have the experience, knowledge, and know-how to prove it! Because of this expert knowledge, ABC is there to support you after the purchase. Got a question about your setup? Give them a call or send an email! You'll be amazed at how fast they'll not only be able to solve your problem but will most likely be able to offer you additional suggestions to help you improve your Biodiesel production setup as well!


Which Tower Is Right For You?
Each tower can dry wash Biodiesel extremely well. The best way to identify which tower would work best for your needs is to identify three things:
1: How much fuel do you need to dry wash?
2: How fast do you need to wash it?
3: How long do you want to go before having to regenerate your dry wash tower?

Here's a quick guide on the output capabilities of each tower.

What Kind Of Pump Should I Use?
For our 6" towers, we recommend using our Dry Wash Adjustable Metering Pump for use with this tower.
With the ability to adjust the output flow up to nearly 10 GPH, it's a perfect combination!

For the other towers, Arbor Biofuels Company recommends using a diaphragm style pump that can deliver a consistent flow through the towers for extended periods of time. Being able to adjust the flow rate is also crucial.

Example Pumps include Milton Roy Series, Liquid Metronics Incorporated (LMI), and Pulsafeeder
