Hello Bill,
Thought I'd read about everything there was on biodiesel,but don't recall
anything on water hardness. Could you direct me to a link or post so I
can learn
more about this? By "hardness" I'm assumin
Hi Terry,
Looks like the reaction 2RCOONa + Ca (Acetate)2 --> (RCOO)2Ca + 2Na(Acetate) to me. (soluble soap) + (hard water) --> (insol. scum) + (soluble salt)
Bill has achieved a way of removing fatty acids dissolved in biodiesel. Congrats to Bill. Sabash! Terry DeSi

Ardis,
You will find, after enough experimentation and out of pocket costs, that
mechanical agitation in a wash tank is the least expensive, consumes the
least energy, requires the least amount of time and leaves you with a
finished product as

"Frog in a Blender" url? LOL! Urk...

tend to do is offer brewers the opportunity to wash an incompletely reacted
batch with one eye closed and sometimes the other eye squinted.

I have Josh Tickell's book "From the fryer to the fuel tank" and it explains
that washing the biodiesel adds "several" days to the process.
What is several days?
Is two days enough? three?
Perhaps other variables delay the washing, but what is a good rule-of-thumb
from our groups members?

Jonathan,
To wash or not to wash? Take your pick. It's your poison.

I have solved the wash problems that plagued my BD production.
Previous attempts at washing using the bubble wash technique proved

overflowing the container.
Tried using a gentler wash setup on small scale allowing water
