Ian,

It can't all be soap. You didn't have enough catalyst to do that. How much
is salvageable?

Chemist showed me a "salting out" trick on a bad batch we made. It saved a
few hundred dollars of hemp seed oil from being turned completely into soap.

On micro-scale, dissolve 2 tbsp table salt into 1 pint water. Add a cup of
your "goo," agitate vigorously, let set 24 hours and see what settles where.

[biofuel] biod failure :(

2001-05-13 Thread ian

Hi all.
 I started a trial run yesterday and all seemed well , until I washed it
today.
I got loads of soap.
I now realized what went wrong. The pipe between the filter tank and reactor
had at least 1 litre of water in as I had done a few cycles using water to
test the system.
I had dissambled the main parts and completely dried everything, except for
the pipe.
I'm doing another run in the next few days.
