Extreme Biodiesel’s Extreme Mini-Refinery
The Extreme Biodiesel Mini Refinery is extremely unique in the world of Biodiesel. This waterless system is the only system on the market that can make 600 gallons per day utilizing the best technology known in the industry—and at minimal cost.
The Mini Refinery is built to be used continuously, every day, and does not require rest. We construct this refinery using only the finest materials available.
The Mini Refinery includes a heating system that is an electric pass-through heater and a 300 gallon tank and filtration system. This way you know before processing that your oil is free of large debris. You can also choose any voltage configuration.
We now offer a new optional waste oil heater that runs on vegetable oil, as well as, biodiesel. Not only will this reduce your processing cost, but it will also earn you money. You may qualify for state and federal tax credits for burning waste oil. Check with your local tax authority.
The filtration unit on the refinery will run 3000 gallons before requiring a methanol rinse, and will last 12,000 to 14,000 gallons before needing to recharge the system.
All of this is wrapped into one tidy package that only takes about 25 feet x 10 feet of space. This is truly an incredible mini refinery and at only $19,999, it is by far the most “bang for your buck!”

STEP 1: HEAT THE VEGETABLE OIL TO APPROXIMATELY 140 DEGREES.
STEP 2: TRANSFER 100 GALLONS OF THE HEATED OIL TO MIXING TANK #1. TAKE SAMPLE OF THE OIL AND DO YOUR TITRATION.
STEP 3: GO TO EXTREME BIODIESEL’S WEBSITE AND CLICK ON THE TITRATION CALCULATOR TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH METHANOL AND LYE ARE NEEDED FOR EACH BATCH. PLACE THE DESIGNATED AMOUNTS IN THE METHOXIDE MIXING TANK AND MIX FOR 10 MINUTES.
STEP 4: INJECT METHOXIDE IN FIRST MIXING TANK AT A RATE OF 1 GALLON/MINUTE, WHICH IS CONTROLLED BY 2 VALVES.
STEP 5: ONCE COMPLETED, TRANSFER MIXING TANK #1 TO MIXING TANK #3. TURN THE EXTRACTOR PUMP ON FOR 30 MINUTES.
STEP 6: TRANSFER OVER 100 MORE GALLONS TO MIXING TANK #1 AND REPEAT STEPS--EXCEPT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO A TITRATION AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME OIL.
STEP 7: ONCE MIXED WITH THE METHOXIDE, TRANSFER IT TO MIXING TANK #2. TURN ON THE EXTRACTOR PUMP FOR 30 MINUTES.
STEP 8: TRANSFER OVER 100 MORE GALLONS TO MIXING TANK #1 AND REPEAT ABOVE STEPS. TURN THE EXTRACTOR PUMP ON FOR 30 MINUTES.
STEP 9: WAIT A MINIMUM OF 2.5 HOURS AFTER MIXING IS COMPLETE FOR EACH TANK BEFORE DRAINING THE GLYCERIN BYPRODUCT.
STEP 10: START TO TRANSFER TANK #3 THROUGH THE FILTERS AT .84 GALLONS/MINUTE, WHICH YOU WILL USE THE NEEDLE VALVE TO CONTROL.
STEP 11: ONCE TANK #3 IS ALMOST EMPTY, TRANSFER MIXING TANK #2 TO TANK #3. WHEN TANK #3 IS ALMOST EMPTY, TRANSFER TANK #1 TO TANK #3.
STEP 12: ONCE THE RAW BIODIESEL GOES THROUGH BOTH OF THE FILTERS, YOU WILL HAVE FINISHED BIODIESEL.
