Terry Biofuels wrote in the other list: "No real need to boil after washing - if you want, take it up to 80 deg C and most water will drop out. Murkiness is probably tallow esters, if temperature is below 8 deg C and pH is 7. Warm slightly, when it will disappear. Allow tallows to settle for a week - draw off from top and use 100% - mix the lower murky layer with warm petrodiesel to achieve cold weather properties. This is not sacrilege - any petrodiesel replaced is good petrodiesel!"
which exemplifies a question which will arise in small-scale commercial production. As in any process, a certain amount of product will be off-spec and therefore unsaleable. Nevertheless, such 'seconds' may be perfectly useable in-house by operators vehicles. It is therefore worth keeping records of the quantity of off-spec likely to be produced so it can be compared with anticipated in-house consumption. Any comments?
