Re: [biofuels-biz] Malaysian palm diesel

2003-12-01 Thread Ken Gotberg

Hi Ong

It’s Idul Fitri (Muslim feat after the fast) vacation
time in Indonesia and the reason for the delay in
getting back to you.  Our office reopens next Monday
December 8.  

I’m curious why you are using the most expensive palm
oil derivative to make biodiesel!  Maybe CPO or
getting WVO from local food processors would make more
sense.  Are there rejects, tailings etc available that
you can process.  I don’t believe importing other oils
would be a good idea at all.  You have transportation
and tax costs as well as palm oil traditionally
costing 30% or so less than soy.

Best regards,

Ken

 In Malaysia they are making biodiesel from olein
 palm oil and the 
 final product is clear as beta carotene is removed
 during the process of 
 making olein from crude palm oil as we did here in
 Thailand. But if 
  biodiesel is produced from crude palm oil the
 colour is off course 
 quite red because of beta carotene in it and we can
 remove by the method 
 as you mentioned. Right here in our department we
 can make mehtyl ester 
 from both crude palm oil and mixed crude palm oil
 with the percentage of 
 methyl ester up to 98 % (in small batch).

Hi Ong

You can try separating beta carotene from the FAME by
distillation as an additional profit center. 
Distillation decolorizes and gives you a clean product
leaving behind the carotene. CPO is a bit cheaper and
why not WVO?  FYI CPO contains 500-to-3,000 ppm
carotenes, mostly beta.

 Dear Kieth  all,
 In Malaysia, we are producing high quality biodiesel
 from refined palm oil
 (RBD olein). But the price of RBD is prohibitive-
 RM2,000 (US$ 530) per
 m/ton which is RM1.80 (US$ 0.47) per liter. Is there
 any other cheaper
 virgin vegetable oil available? 
 What is the price of rapeseed oil (canola?), soya
 (soy) oil, corn oil per
 liter?
  
 Malaysia palm diesel ASTM test results:
 Pour point  -3C
 Density @ 15C  0.87
 Kinematic viscosity @ 40C   21.5
 Flash point   90.5
 Sulphur   0.05
 Water  sediment not detected
 acid number 0.19
  
 Detailed test report available on request.
 Anyone interested in importing or  manufacturing
 palm diesel?
 
  We are also using lubricating engine oil made from
 RBD to run our motor
 cars and lorries. Anyone dare to try?

Hi OBK,

I believe soy is the cheapest virgin oil at 
$0.20 per lb. 
the only oil stock cheaper is yellow grease at 
$0.12 lb.
