Biodiesel Filtration
Biodiesel-Equipment.com offers the new BCC100 – 5GPM ColdClear Unit. The ColdClear unit is designed to lower biodiesel producers Cold Soak number within and below passing ASTM standards in a simple and cost effective method. ColdClear has also been found to lower the Cloud Point, Pour Point, and help with Oxidation Stability. This unit will be able to process 15,000 or more gallons of biodiesel before the elements need to be changed. The average cost per gallons is 2 ½ – 3 cents per gallon.
The new ASTM D6751 Cold Soak Filtration test is leaving many biodiesel producers and consumers out in the cold. In response, 70Centagallon.com in association with Schroeder Biofuels is proud to present Cold Clear TM, a new proprietary multi-stage separation technology designed specifically to ensure that biodiesel products conform to this ASTM standard for cold flow properties. The Cold Clear TM system consists of a three-stage bank of housings using a combination of filtration and adsorption principles to capture compounds that could cause plugging or crystallization in biodiesel fluids. Notably, Cold Clear TM is the premiere multi-stage treatment system for solving the cold soak filtration dilemma in B100 biodiesel and biodiesel blends in a single pass while resulting in a negligible yield loss.

Fast Facts:
- Cold Clear TM is a three stage system with all housings mounted in series on a single skid
- The first stage serves as a pre-filter and captures solid particulates down to three microns using high efficiency Excellement® cartridges
- Stages 2 and 3 utilize cartridges that combine adsorption technologies with the proven effectiveness of Schroeder’s high efficiency Excellement® synthetic media
- The standard Cold Clear TM system is equipped with 1” NPT or SAE flange ports and is designed to handle a maximum flow of 5gpm for an estimated 15,000 gallons
- Multiple units can be employed to meet higher flow requirements
- The Cold Clear TM system can be easily integrated into existing plant piping environments
- If multiple units are required, 70CentsaGallon.com in association with Schroeder Biofuels offers a range of flow & system monitoring options to ensure proper operation
- The essence of the Cold Clear TM technology is the removal of crystallization precursors from the biodiesel or biodiesel blends. Therefore knowing the exact flow rate of your system is essential for the Cold Clear TM system to be properly sized and configured for a specific application.
Typical Applications
- In-plant treatment of biodiesel (B100) prior to conform to ASTM standards prior to blending or shipment
- In-plant treatment of biodiesel blends (ex. B5, B10, etc) to ensure blended biodiesel meets or exceeds cold flow specifications
- For use in diesel fuel storage and distribution systems where B100 or biodiesel blends are stored and distributed to ensure shipped blends conform to ASTM specifications
- Large fleet terminals that have on-site diesel (and biodiesel blend) storage to ensure tight adherence to cold flow standards
- Pre-treatment of fats and oils prior to processing.
