Hi Todd, Just found process using lipase enzymes as catalyst to make biodiesel . Makes glycerol recovery easy, has minimal waste residues, you can recycle your catalyst, and you can use high fatty acid feedstock, low reaction temperatures, and get a high conversion rate ! I haven`t read all of the text yet . I`m looking for the process to use soap as a feedstock also.
