probably something like your experience to work very hard to do something and

A grant of up to $200 000 may be available for a suitable proposal to
build a plant to convert WVO to bio in Queensland. I believe that
this would have to involve a company that includes a major WVO

Hi
I am an animal nutritionist based in Zambia,
Dayton thinks America is ready for a biofuels boom, since the bill
also contains his idea for a new biodiesel tax credit of up to $1 a
gallon.
The alternative is to do nothing, to make no change, Dayton said.

i'm trying to think on a solution on of a biodiesel processor off the grid
perhaps using stirling engines an other technologies, just a personal

vegetable oils could be used directly as fuels in engines without
much fouling. Is this not true for modern engines? why so much on

Why not recover the methanol at the end of the processing stage,
before settling? Still warm, it's all there, so just heat it up a bit
more (to 65 deg C) and distill it off through a simple condenser.
Isn't that what most people are doing who're recovering their

Are you talking literal power outage in a building, throwing the

I gather from your words that it is not a building outage. If
that is correct, it boils down to either underservice to your

Roughly, bank of ~95% yield upward, depending upon the method
used.
Ethanol in the production of ethyl esters (biodiesel) requires
much attention to keeping the alcohol anhydrous. Other than that,
the process is similar to when using methanoll. Yes, it is more

I heard sometime back that the company that made MTBE was going to sue the
state of California because they had banned MTBE. This was a Canadian company
and that the MTBE ban was in violation of the NAFTA agreement. I would take
this to mean that MTBE is imported from Canada. California
