  • WVO Sludge Disposal

    What is the best way to dispose of the sludge and other junk that comes out from the WVO after filtering? Or is there a use for it? Can't just throw them away right?

      Make biodiesel from it, and even use a little bit of the sludge to fuel a burner to heat the rest of the sludge for the reaction. If that's too messy, take it back to the restaurant's dumpster you got it from.

        If you are talking about what is left in the filter after filtering veggie oil, I mix some with sawdust and pack into 1 litre milk cartons and use for my winter space heating. When I have plenty and biodiesel making friends are short on oil, I pass it on to them and use their by-product instead.
