I think Aleks' method is good up to about 8% FFA in the oil --
at that level, you're right, titration is unnecessary. I tried
some 16% FFA oil (titrates at 21 ml NaOH!), and titration
after the acid step indicated I still had 5% FFA left,

We've been doing some testing on acid/base reactions lately,
trying to reduce process stream problems when we gear up for
larger volumes. The following is the outcome of some of the
testing, based primarily on Aleks Kac's revised method. Rumor has
it that many people seem to have problems with
