I tested some biodiesel after processing it by treating it as new
virgin oil and some additional glycerine dropped out. My questions are-
Do I use 10% methanol and 3.5 g NaOH/liter per JTF to reprocess?
Won't that cause washing problems because of the additional NaOH
causing an emulsificatio
Richard,
No reprocessing should be necessary. If all the "little bits" came from
skimmings from wash stages or accumulations from base reactions then
they've already been processed suffciently.
Take a sample and wash it. If it separates quickly and cleanly there
should be no reason to be con
why

just
wash it

Hi All, I posed this question back on the 5th and didn't get
any responses. I was hoping someone out there would have some idea on how
to proceed. I've been pouring all the little bits of biodiesel and soap or
water into a 55 gallon drum. The soap and water have settled to the bottom
and
Here are the results of my other reprocessing tests.
1st - I used 3.5g lye and 200 ml Methanol - the biodiesel cleared and another
80-100 ml of glycerol settled out. The biodiesel on top has the appearance of
clarity , but it also looked like it has a bit of methanol still left in that
layer,
