Description:
We've teamed up with Arbor Fabricating to bring you this
exclusive dry wash tower kit. It's perfectly sized for various types of dry wash resins available and is a great way to build an inexpensive
yet extremely durable Biodiesel Dry Wash Column. Designed by the dry wash experts at
Arbor Fabricating, this kit is built to last. All the parts are laser/water cut and sized perfectly for dry washing!
The kit comes with an extremely durable all metal base made from hot rolled steel. An upper flange is all ready to mount to a
6" tube, viton seals and super durable bolts. A 3/4" fitting is welded to the top flange and base for
easily connecting 3/4" pipe fittings. The kit can also be purchased with a 6" x 48" carbon steel tube as well.
In the base of the kit is a stainless steel 80 Mesh (177 Micron) screen that's welded securely in place. This is perfect
for use with DW-R10, Purolite, or any other common dry wash resin.
The kit may be purchased with several options. These include as a kit only, a kit plus a steel tube, and with or without resin.
Simply weld everything together, pressure test the vessel, and you're set to go!
Assembling The Tower
The kit comes with full instructions for putting it together and will walk you through each step to ensure the tower
you build will give you years of service. Simply prep the fittings, mark everything to level,
weld everything together, pressure test the vessel, check for leaks, and do any finish work and you're ready to go!
What Kind Of Pump Should I Use?
We recommend using one of our Dry Wash Adjustable Metering Pumps with this tower.
With the ability to adjust the output flow, it's a perfect combination!
Completed Tower
Once completed, the tower can be cleaned and powder coated to
any color you desire giving you years of service.
Completed Towers In A Typical Dry Wash Setup
After the tower is complete, it can be put into service as seen in the example below
of a typical dry wash setup using a lead & lag tower setup.

be. Very nice work. Thank you!" - Aaron, New Mexico

Testing For Soap

dry washing to identify if all the soap has been removed. Check out this great tutorial video that will walk you
through the basics of soap testing.
We carry three great soap test kits that are similar to the one in the video.
They come complete with everything you'll need to start testing soap levels in Biodiesel ensuring
