The Dolbecs’ cars and farm equipment run on the bio-diesel that they produce.
The Dolbecs make soap
from the gylcerin.
Edgar is shown pointing to the electric water tank. It is used to process the waste vegetable oil and other chemicals into bio-diesel. The two
silver tanks are used in washing the bio-diesel.
The conical tank in the front of the photo is used as a mixing tank. The large conical tank in the rear of the photo is used to make soap. The still is between
these two tanks. The still reclaims the methanol.
The tank on the left introduces the methanol. The center tank is the overflow for the processor. The electric water tank serves as the processor.
