Quik 'n' Dri™ is an amazing new product that absorbs moisture from vegetable oil extremely well. In fact, it's so powerful that it can remove more than its weight in water. This product is a superabsorbent material that can be added to vegetable oil to remve the water and then be filtered back out, dried, and reused multiple times.

Introduced by Coorga International, the product has been shown to work extremely well in several tests done by Biodiesel home brewers around the United States. The product works by absorbing the moisture out of the oil and then "grows" to contain the water. Once it's done the job, it can be removed and air dried and reused again.

To achived the ideal ratio of bed height to diameter of tower, please use the rule of thumb of 1 lb of Quik 'n' Dri™ for every 4" of tower diameter. Therefore if you have a 10" diameter you will require 2-1/2 lbs of Quik ‘n’ Dri™ to attain the ideal bed height.

Tower height should be a minimum of 4 ft but a height of 5 ft would be ideal.

Parts & Tools Required

• (1) PVC Tube (4" Diameter x 5 feet long)
• (1) PVC Cap 4"
• (1) PVC Reducer Cap 4" to 1 1/2"
• (1) PVC 1 1/2" Adapter
• (1) PVC 1/2" 90 ° Elbow
• (1) 35 Mesh (500 Micron) Screen
• (1) PVC 1/2" ID Tubing (about 5 feet)

Top Cap:
Drill 3 holes in the cap. One at the center and two tiny holes at the outer edge. Center hole will be used to connect inflow tubing via which the WVO or Biodiesel enters the tower. The remaining two holes are for venting:
(TIP: instead of a flat cap a reducer cap with adapter and T-coupler could be used. T-coupler will be used for fluid in flow as well as ventiliation. Attaching a one-way vavle to the air-intake/ventilation portion of the couple would serve to protect against fluid over flow).

Bottom Cap:
Instead of a cap, the bottom of the tube is outfitted with a 4" inch to 1 1/2" PVC reducer cap. The reducer and the tube is separated by a fine mesh (35 mesh / 500 Micron for maximum throughput). Exit tubing is attached to the end of the reducer connector.

Instructions: (Single Tower)
Optional Equipment: Pump

1. Decant free water from WVO or Biodiesel.
It's important that no free water enters the tower to cause premature expansion and/or clogging of the top most layer.

2. Flow wet WVO or Biodiesel top down into tower.
To aid the flow of the BD/WVO through the Quik 'n' Dri™ tower bed a pump may be attached to the exit hose at the bottom of the tower.

3. Test output sample of BD or WVO for wetness
Take a sample of the WVO or Biodiesel and test it for water content. If the desired moisture content is not low enough, simply re-circulate the product through the tower a second time.

Instructions: (Dual Tower)
Same as single tower excepting the pump is attached to the nipple filter on the lag tower and therefore re-circulation is unnecessary. The lead tower exit hose connects to the lag towers feed connector.

Quik Tips:

1. Prep & Rotate: For smooth continuous dehydration take 5 - 10 minutes to prep your granule bed by removing granules that have expanded to 50% - 70% of their maximum size and place them in your regeneration box. Add fresh granules if required.
2. To avoid cross contamination used different drying towers (and granules) for WVO and Biodiesel.
3. Please note, the PVC tower design is ideal for WVO only. While the same design can be used for biodiesel, a more compatible material such as stainless steel is recommended.
4. Remember to keep in mind that you will need to be able to clean your mesh/filter and prep your granule bed, so make sure it can be pulled apart and cleaned easily.
5. Be sure to regulate the inflow and outflow so as not to pump more liquid in the tower than is leaving.

Warning:
To prevent clogging do NOT run 100% water through your tower. Otherwise the top layer of granule will expand rapidly causing clogging. Please exercise good judgement for a trouble free operation.
