RE: [biofuel] copper vessels
Excellent! -thank you very much Adrian Any further info would be much appreciated - I was beginning to doubt my sanity (again). A Masters research project rests on this idea and the company I work for would love to be able to give "added value" to the copper cylinders we replace when installing solar hot water systems - how do you heat yours (could do you a good deal on a solar thermal panel!!) I realised it would be an ideal vessel physically - it was the chemical reactivity of copper that seemed problematic Where are you based? Thanks again for the reassurance - much appreciated Jan -Original Message- From: Adrian Walsh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 January 2002 22:05 To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [biofuel] copper vessels I have been using a copper hot water cylinder to make Bio. It stays very clean and there is no sign of corrosion. It is held in a frame upside down with the bottom (now the top) cut off. This works great as it gives a conical bottom and fittings for valves and the heater element are already there. Adrian __ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!

[biofuel] copper vessels
Hello Has anyone tried using copper vessels in biofuel batch making process - would react with sodium hydroxide (to copper oxide) but what about with sodium methoxide? Potential to use old copper hot water cylinders and heat with solar collectors - could use for just heating WVO but what about other uses? Maybe even to pyrolise glycerine in small scale methane storage vessels - query high temperatures needed for pyrolysis process. Thanks Diolch Jan Swansea, Wales Yahoo!
