The centrifuge they use (they call it a seperator) is made by DeLaval.
Apart from being a whole lot bigger, with more cones, it's practically the same design as the old DeLaval cream seperators. The sludge they get out of it is 99% carbon (soot) and none of that rare, magnetic lead.
But don't the additives also play a large role in the oil? IOW, what you have is raw oil without any additives. We know there are different additives between gas oil and diesel rated oil. Would it still be safe to run?
