I would...consider NaOH flakes over beads, usually cheaper...and dbl check that 90% pure KoH is good enough.I'm a fan of the NaOH method because it leaves you with a byproduct that can be used in waste fuel furnaces. ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sust

For now I'm living in the jungle, my friend. I'm sure the day when I'll take care about the environment will come soon, but when, nobody knows. BTW explain me please (for a future use) if I do my batches with KOH and live in "white" country how I can save some money. Exactly difference betwee

You've still got to find end uses for your co-/waste-products. Sodium generates an environmental cost. Potassium generates a monetary and environmental savings. You might care to see how much the savings in fertilizer offsets the higher cost of the catalyst before you make a final decision. To

Hi! Difference is only in total cost of the product. I'll try to save every cent because the price of biodiesel produced here is very close to bulk price of dynodiesel. I mean biodiesel produced from fresh not refined vegetable oils. So, my decision is NaOH. At 19:06 24.12.05, you wrote: >Jo

Everyone seems to use more NaOh in the process. At this point I plan on using KOH even though I must use more. I can purchase 90% KOH for .725/lb   and NaOH beads for 51/lb. The time savings and ease in mixing KOH is worth the extra cost.   Later in the entire process am I missing something t
