I’ve been processing WMO since day one. I’ve never processed anything else (WVO was just too hard to find and all the sources were already spoken for). My setup includes some safety devices for processing. I’ve been processing WMO for 3 years with my primary mix being 70/30 (70% WMO and 30% D2). I run it in all my vehicles (all of which are diesel including my bobcat) year round here in mid Florida. I have 2 VW Jetta TDI’s (2000 and 2001), a 1996 Mercedes E300D, 1999 F250 Superduty Crew Cab 4x4 (customized setup with a 1990 7.3 IDI motor with Banks Turbo), and a 2000 Excursion with a Powerstroke 7.3 (my wife’s “bus”). My 1999 F250 Superduty Crew with the IDI setup can run straight WMO after I process it through WVO Designs Centrifuge but I run the 70/30 mix for convenience. My Jetta’s can run WMO at 98.5% and 1.5% Pure Gum Turpentine (to boost the cetane for starting and burning) but I stick with my 70/30 mix to keep it uniform. The Mercedes and The Excursion both prefer the 70/30 mix a

Our first WMO filtration setup was outdoors due to limited space inside of the garage. This was accomplished by setting a 275 gallon tote on top of another and positioning the WVO Designs centrifuge on top of a 55 gallon barrel so the top tote would be the dirty “settling” tank and the bottom tote the clean tank. The 55 gallon barrel was for draining the sludge into and also there in case the power shut off unexpectedly and the oil was draining straight to the barrel instead of into the clean tote.

After moving, I had space inside a garage to setup a more efficient cleaning system. I didn’t want it to take up as much space, and found that having over 500 gallons of capacity wasn’t needed in my case. We decided on using 2 55 gallon barrels in place of the 275 gallon totes. This would allow me to keep my footprint smaller in the limited real estate of a garage. I also decided I wanted a secondary containment that would hold over 60 gallons in case something sprung a leak in order t

WVO Designs started in 2008 and has never been a sideline or a hobby, it's our job, we take it seriously and will continue to serve you, our customers, for many more years. At the end of 2013 Jason who managed our customer support moved on to his own enterprise and I have taken over handling technical customer support. I look forward to talking to many of you again. We have a new product line in our industrial centrifuges and also, we have a few new programs to help with the original mission of WVO Designs; To Share Knowledge of Alternative Energy Designs and Methods.

We have been the leading manufacturer of small solid bowl centrifuges with our Raw Power Centrifuges since we started. We have seen them used for Waste Vegetable Oil, Waste Motor Oil, Cutting fluid, Algae Harvesting, Virgin Oil and countless other small scale applications. To expand to small scale industrial we have a new series of heavy duty industrial centrifuges:
