Re: [biofuel] biodiesel plant tours
Mgrove, I am interested in how you designed your system.Where I work we pay renderer to haul away our WVO which is generated by three of our tenants that are food vendors in our foodcourt.I was asked to take responsibility of project to somehow clean up the WVO dumpster area since it costs us for removal.The first thing I did was go to the internet and search waste grease.That was one year ago.Since then I have experimented w/ different methods. Last method was the two stage. I have since started to re-fit used water heater to be made into solar water heater. Please e-mail me directly if you can give me some advice on using water heater for WVO processing. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!

Re: [biofuel] Re: Aleks' 'foolproof method' methanol reclaim
Mike, I was processing 11 litres of WVO . When mixing methoxide I used 1100 ml. methanol with approx. 33.5 grams lye. It appeared as though it was all dissolved. In the first stage I added half of that mixture. The next day I added the second half. Kevin D.

Re: [biofuel] Re: Aleks' 'foolproof method' methanol reclaim
Mike, When I purchased the methanol it was 99 , I used it a few times for one litre batches doing it the old way from the book From the Fryer to the Fuel tank. It worked fine for that.Then I read about this procedure and re-read and re-read until I felt comfortable enough to give it a go. During first stage I added just methanol after the initial heating of WVO. 1100 ml. first mix for five min. then added the 11 ml. sulfuric acid, mixed for 45 min. settle overnite. Next day heated first stage mixture added 1100ml methoxide and mixed for 45 min. I am not sure what you mean , did I stop reaction by adding methxide. exactly when do you mean add methoxide to stop reaction? Thanks for any help you can give so I can remediate .

I used only the oil that appeared to be translucent.It looked dry but may have had some water in it. The WVO that I was going to use , I heated to 150 degrees F. ,let it settle overnite but it did not seperate. So that is why I used the cleaner looking oil .

Re: [biofuel] Bio Quality Test?
Hi James, I recently processed 11 litres of WVO using the foolproof two stage process and failed. I might have been using a too high of an rpm motor. I would like to hear your procedure.

Re: [biofuel] Re: small diesels and filtering fat
Steve , I am wondering if I can just seperate oil from water when it comes out of the fryer. The next morning when the WVO has sat unheated for approx. 10 hrs. Where I work I am able to collect oil directly from fryer. Normally the food vendor heats it up to 350 degrees F before they dump it. Would it work for me to seperate before they re-heat it?I put the heated oil in 15 gal. steel drums with the lids still intact. I could fill the barrels with the heated oil and put them in drum cradle horizontally till it cools down.With ball valve in place could probably seperate it. From there I could transfer oil through filter and re-heat to 140 degress F. and continue with first stage of two stage acid procedure. It might seem like I am thinking out loud , but I would really appreciate some input from the veterans.

Re: [biofuel] WVO filtering
Todd, I collect WVO from food vendor when the oil is 350 degrees , Using Aleks method I wouldn't think I would need to re-heat the used oil for the water oil seperation would I ? I think for the two stage acid method I should be able to just let the WVO settle and after a day drain the water off. Is that correct ? I am very close to be ready to do thirty gallon batches .

Re: [biofuel] methane
I sent an e-mail to the Rodale Research Center in SE Pa. I don't live very far from there and I was wondering if they currently do anything with WVO. I can remember one of their mag. called New Shelter.They responded by saying they are not involved with that.Let me hear more about Rodale. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor -~-~> eGroups is now Yahoo!
