thanks for the update
question
Do you know how much energy is consumed during processing?

Yes...
Heater = 500 watts
Pump = 230 watts
Fan = 75 watts
============
Total = 805 watts
Warm up time is 1/2hr = 500 watts X 1/2 hr = .25 kw/hr
Process time is 1 hour = 805 watts or .8kw/hr
Total elec. energy used is = 1.05 kw/hr
In my area I pay 8.5 cents per kw/hr so total processing cost is 8.9 cents.
Now, if I had to process off grid using the listeroid, I would burn approx. 1 liter of fuel to do this job.
So, for every 20 liters of free WVO that I process, 1 liter would be used, netting 19 liters of product.
