[biofuel] Report Back on Biodiesel
My attempts at acquiring large volumes of used veggie oil from single sources has not as yet reached fruition. All the promises and best intentions of some of these large companies seem to fall away when it comes to making decisions to CHANGE even if its for the better. The results of the work I have done, on a small scale, show that it is most important to have starting material that is consistent in composition. I have found that variability of starting material to be the biggest problem, for me, in a reduced return. Here, in South Africa, the used oil is an industry in itself with many sources already catered for the disposal. One can buy used oil in bulk but without any guarantee on composition, as expected. Most of it is sold for reuse for making soap, they say, although its use in animal feed and reuse as cooking oil by the lower income groups is probable. I have also had problems with reduced return during the wash. My best results have been by lowing the ph with vinegar well in excess of that indicated in the literature (Foolproof) and being careful not to agitate to much. So, until I find a regular and consistent source of used oil I am reduced to producing for my own consumption, for the time being. Well... its a start!!

[biofuel] biofuel -gasoline
Hi, My name is Lorien Holland and I write for the Far Eastern Economic Review in Malaysia. I am currently researching an article about a scientist who has developed catalysts that encourage palm oil to transform into gasoline (rather than other products like kerosene and diesel) during the cracking process. Do any of you know about other similar projects involving the cracking of organic oils into gasoline? Any views on the value of such research? Could it have a long-term positive impact? Or is the cost too high? Most grateful for any assistance. Best regards, Lorien Holland __ Do You Yahoo!? Listen to your Yahoo! Mail messages from any phone. http://phone.yahoo.com Yahoo!

Re: [biofuel] Report Back on Biodiesel
Hello Mike, I plan to visit S Africa next month to investigate the market for grease traps and what the current practice is regarding putting grease down drains relative to UK and Ireland.
