[Biofuel] Feasibility of flow production . . .

Good morning!!! Just a thought - seeing as how I cannot find, anywhere, the possibility / feasibility of flow production as apposed to bacth production. Is this even possible?? Am I using alot of brain power pondering the impossible?? Is there any way to automate this process so that it's continu

Re: [Biofuel] [Fwd: Economist make sense (except for Krugman)]

The problem is not that fossil fuels are costing more money, but that they are costing more energy. As the section of the economy devoted to extracting fossil fuels consumes more of the yield of fossil fuels, there is less left for consumption, to run the rest of the economy. Now it's quite true

[Biofuel] Iodine value, polymerisation and oxidation

Hello, My WVO consist of 80% polyunsaturated oil and i calculated that this has an iodine value of 150. But when i look at the table "National standards for biodiesel", found here http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_yield2.html#biodstds you see the iodine value of BD should be on avarage

[Biofuel] Composting engine?

The purpose of converting to ethane is to make it usable in some kind of form. Every time this energy changes form, there is some loss so it makes sense to keep the process of converting from raw resource to usable as short as possible. Why not cut out the middle man and not convert to ethane

Re: [Biofuel] Iodine value, polymerisation and oxidation

Marc, it is true that the trans-esterification process will partly eliminate the polymerization properties of highly unsaturated fatty acids.How did you establish the iodine number ? What kind of oil as raw material are you talking about ? But there are still some things to attend to: Highly unsatu
