BioPro Processor Descriptions
This is the ultimate biodiesel processor for making your own Biodiesel! If you've ever wanted a completely automated biodiesel processor, then go no further. With completely automated controls, this machine makes making biodiesel EASY!!! All you do is add oil, catalyst, methanol and sulfuric acid, hit the big green button and WALK AWAY! No transferring of oil from one place to another. No adjusting levers and valves to make sure things are added just right. Nope. You don't even have to transfer the processed biodiesel to a wash tank. It does the washing right in the unit! It'll even draw the water it needs for washing right from a standing water source.

It's made from high-quality 304 stainless steel and has been designed for minimal operator involvement. It has a patented logic controller that monitors everything with full built-in monitoring and fault protection. And, for you control nuts out there, it even has a fully manual mode that allows you to override the automated logic controller (although, we're not sure why you'd want to) and control every step of the reaction.

The unit is so thoroughly thought out that it even comes with it's own fueling pump complete with a nozzle for easy fueling. It can process both new and used oil and has been tested to handle the worst oil you can throw at it. It's completely automatic and easy to use.

The units are custom made and built with extreme care and precision. Everything is built to be biodiesel compatible from the start so you know everything will work right out of the box.

We have one of these units on site and are just thoroughly impressed with both it's build quality and it's ease of use. From the moment we laid our eyes on it we knew it was something different; something better; something incredible!


Upgradable Capacity
The BioPro 190 Biodiesel Processor is available in a standard model or in a BioPro EX model, which adds the revolutionary INCOSEP technology to the processor allowing it to process batches in just under 22 hours! Add a Spring Pro T76 Dry Wash System to the mix and you can produce a batch of Biodiesel from start to finish in as little as 13 hours!

Check out the impressive fuel production capacity that's possible with the BioPro 190!

Built With Safety In Mind
The BioPro 190 was engineered with operator safety in mind. Being built from 304 stainless steel, it's extremely chemically resistant and with it's heavy duty sealed tanks, it keeps methanol vapors to a minimum. All of the electrical components are listed by UL, CE or another NRTL. The tanks are sealed when in operation, several safety redundancies are built into the BioPro, and the unit itself carries the important a CE safety mark.

Why Should You Use A BioPro Biodiesel Processor?
Ease Of Use
If you've ever made Biodiesel with other similar equipment on the market, you know how much of a hassle it can be. Turning valves, doing titrations, mixing chemicals, monitoring timers and several other time consuming activities that require you to be a part of the process. When you use a BioPro all of that goes away. Instead of turning valves & making sure things get added right, you just add everything to the machine, press a button and walk away. If you've ever made Biodiesel any other way there's really no comparison. The BioPro 190 works at such a higher level and is so much easier to use that you'll wonder why you didn't try it before.

Automation Processing
Why make Biodiesel if it's going to be hard, right? You've got better things to do than try & figure out titrations or make sure you've added enough methanol or checking to make sure all the valves are properly set each time. With the BioPro 190, making Biodiesel is easier than running a dishwasher. You just put everything in, push the button, and let it take care of the rest. It calculates everything for you and lets you have your life back!

Sulfuric Acid
With most processors on the market, you're limited in the type of feedstock you can handle. Because the BioPro 190 uses Sulfuric Acid, it will handle much nastier oil! In fact, it can handle oil that titrates clear up to a 9 using the KOH method of titrating. But, because we provide simple to use Go/No Go Kits, you don't even have to do a titration. Just add a sample of potential oil to the Go/No Go Kit and in under 5 minutes you'll know if it's usable in a BioPro 190 or not.

Automated Washing
If you've ever washed Biodiesel before, you know what kind of a pain it can be. Transferring fuel to a wash tank, hoping you've got all the glycerin out, turning on the water, hoping it doesn't overfill, monitoring it for emulsions, and the list goes on and on and on. With the BioPro 190, all of that ALSO goes way. That's because washing happens right in the BioPro 190. You just drain off the glycerin and push the wash button and let the machine take care of the rest. It even drains it's own water and when it's done washing it kicks on the drying cycle and dries the biodiesel to a crystal clear, perfectly dry fuel. We dare you to compare! In fact, we challenge you to find any other small scale processor on the market that's as easy to use, easy to operate, and as user friendly as the BioPro 190.

Generator Specifications
Want to power it with a generator? We recommend using a generator capable of producing 3000 watts continuous, 3500 wats peak power. We also recommend using a line filter to keep the power nice & clean (so it doesn't disrupt the onboard PLC unit).
