Viscosity - was Re: [biofuels-biz] Fuel Quality Test for Small Producers

Hello Tom Nice to hear from you again. I hope you're fully recovered now after your accident. Randall, I've been producing biodiesel for the past 6 years, until recently. I have a scientific peer reviewed paper that shows an almost complete correlation between the quality (completeness) of

G'day Steven Did you get any solid results with the ethanol blend - any tests done on the motor or emissions? I presume you were using ACREVO's 9% of 95% ethanol? Good news that you've been having success with crude canola, undegummed. I hope you'll monitor it closely so that the beginnings

Re: [biofuels-biz] Fuel Quality Test for Small Producers

Jim, 4. The test profile is there for a reason -- you do not truly have biodiesel unless it passes the test. You may have a compound which will burn, but to mis-lable it as biodiesel would be illegal. Civil liability could follow. That's a bit of a mis-correlation. I sure wouldn't want to put

Tom Request you to puit this peer reviewed paper on web . Our experience is that viscosity is not a good indicaator of quality as severl sets of compositions can give the same visocity whereas their properties will be quite different rpsharma From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To:

Re: [biofuels-biz] Fuel Quality Test for Small Producers

Todd: My comment about testing was taken from a conversation with Dr. Charles Peterson, Director of the BioFuel Lab at U of Idaho, Moscow. Dr. Peterson flatly stated that the key issue for small biofuel producers was the need to test each batch, that small producers could not, typically,

Re: [biofuel] Diesel - electric hybrids more likely than fuel cells, to at least 2020

It's perhaps good thought to err on the side of repeating some of these things. We've had some good discussion over the last few months here in this group and elsewhere as to hybrids, EVs, diesels, and the pros and cons of combinations. Over the years one of the roadblocks I've run into is that

[biofuel] biodiesel, profit and patents

Hiya all, I just recently started thinking about waysthat biodiesel can help poor communities earn an income. But if I think about that, I think I should also be thinking about whether biodiesel has any patents or copyrights atttached to it. Would it be illegal to makie diesel for profit?

Re: [biofuel] Bridging UPSs or inverters

I do not believe they can be paralleled without modifying the electronics to synchronize the 60 hz inverter. Inverters designed for grid-intertie have a lot more protection built in, and automatically synchronize with the line frequency. -Martin Klingensmith This may be a bit off topic, but I

Hi, I believe you need some sort of master controller to keep them in sync - otherwise, I believe, they will drift out of sync over time. Derek This may be a bit off topic, but I have an inverter question: I have a couple of APC SmartUps's (computer uninterruptible power supply). I was
