Basic Operating Instructions

1. Install only in a well-ventilated location at 50-90°F (10-32°C) protected from weather, children, animals other hazards.

2. Place your GGF Micro Refinery, waste oil feed source and refined oil storage containers on flat, level surfaces capable of supporting up to 80 lbs or more as needed.

3. Connect the inlet hose from your feed container to your Micro Refinery INLET securely enough to prevent leaking.  (Do not twist or bend inlet spout in any way.)

4. Connect the outlet hose from Micro Refinery OUTLET to your storage container securely enough to prevent leaking.  (Do not twist or bend outlet spout in any way.)

5. This is a Passive (Gravity Fed) System ONLY: Place the OUTLET of the feed container about level with the INLET of your GGF Micro Refinery and start flow SLOWLY!! Adjust the height of the feed container higher than your GGF Micro Refinery to achieve a 2-5 gallons per hour (gph) flow for maximum effectiveness & refinery life.

** Forcing oils through your Micro Refinery at faster rates will shorten refinery life and void your warranty.

6. MAXIMUM height difference between feed container OUTLET and your GGF Micro Refinery INLET to be 6’ (six feet).

7. Place your refined oil storage container by your GGF Micro Refinery to allow a gravity outflow.  Height may vary.

8. Protect your Micro Refineries & containers from being knocked over or struck.

9. Protect from spills and leakage. Spills and setup leaks are almost unavoidable with oils. Be prepared for this event.

10. ** Pour 24 fluid ounces of plain tap water into your Micro Refinery INLET and let settle for 24 hours.

11. ** Re-process the first 5 gallons of refined oil from your new Micro Refinery to remove any manufacturing residue.

12. For more information, please refer to your Refinery label or download a copy from out Information Page.

 

Tips:

1.  Settling WVO or WMO for 1-2 weeks or more before filtering, and filtering only the cleaner oil (not the dregs) will greatly increase micro refinery life. Filter oil that is as free from solids as possible. The GGF micro refinery is for FINE filtering. Large particles that fit thru the inlet tube will get filtered, but will deminish the fine filtering capacity to a shorter period.

2. When oil begins to filter slower (after a couple of hundred gallons depending on source oil), raise the feed container 12″ higher for more flow rate. Keep raising to a maximum of 72″ above micro refinery inlet until no more flow can be achieved.

3. Water is sometimes mixed with source oils. Your GGF micro refinery separates the water from the oil and settles in the bottom of the filter when used appropriately. If water starts to flow out of micro refinery outlet: stop any new filtering; tilt micro refinery over to allow water to flow out of outlet into a proper container for disposal; resume filtering. To minimize this step, do not filter oils with large amounts of water.

 

Do not:

1. Raise the outlet of the feed container more than 6′ above the inlet of the micro refinery or mechanically force the waste oil thru the micro refinery faster than instructed. Any higher flow rate than prescribed may clog the micro refinery prematurely and void the warranty.

2. Mix vegetable oils with motor/mineral oils.
