METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING USED COOKING OIL

摘要

Methods and systems for processing used cooking oil to remove contaminates therefrom to produce recycled cooking oil are disclosed. The systems and methods may comprise a continuous flow of the used cooking oil therethrough. The methods and systems may comprise a first filter configured to remove solid contaminates of a first size from used cooking oil flowing therethrough, and a heating mechanism in communication with the first filter to heat the used cooking oil to at least about 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The methods and systems may further comprise a centrifuge mechanism in communication with the heating mechanism to remove solid contaminates and liquid contaminates from the heated used cooing oil. The methods and systems may also comprise a second filter in communication with the centrifuge mechanism that is configured to remove solid contaminates of a second size from the used cooking oil to produce processed recycled cooking oil.

1. A method of processing used cooking oil to remove contaminates therefrom to produce recycled cooking oil, the method comprising:
passing used cooking oil through a first filter to remove solid contaminates of a first size from the used cooking oil; heating used cooking oil that passed through the first filter by a heating mechanism to at least about 120 degrees Fahrenheit; transferring used cooking oil heated by the heating mechanism to a centrifuge mechanism, wherein the centrifuge mechanism processes the used cooking oil to remove at least one of solid contaminates and liquid contaminates therefrom; passing used cooking oil processed by the centrifuge mechanism through a second filter to remove solid contaminates of a second size that are smaller than the solid contaminates of the first size separated by the first filter to produce recycled cooking oil; and transferring recycled cooking oil output by the second filter into at least one storage tank, wherein the at least one storage tank is capable of agitating and heating the recycled cooking oil therein to at least about 120 degrees Fahrenheit; and wherein the method is performed as a continuous process producing a continuous flow of the recycled cooking oil from the second filter.
