Started with the ultrasonic cleaner filled with clear heated water.
|
This is the filter to be cleaned.
|
This is the start of the run.

|
This is at the end of the run.
|
I then rigged up the oil skimmer to lift off the oil.
|
This is the beginning of the recovery. Drip by drip the skimmer recovers the oil.
|

|
Within about 10 minutes the oil has been lifted from the oil. The water looks milky which is likely due to the detergents in the oil.
|
This is the final result, about an inch of recovered oil. A lot more than expected. The oil is thick, almost tar like. I know that the centrifuge could easily recover the oil and cake the particulate. With a deeper cleaner the filter could be fully submerged and likely render even better results. Some more experimentation is in order.
