I spoke with Mr. Haig a while ago. They are/will be talking to the larger rendering operations, since they can use animal fats. The process uses a cosolvent (MTBE or other) to speed reaction time. The batch time was reduced dramatically with this method. Further study by Boocock and team into why the reaction still stopped before completion resulted in the continuous process that does not require a reaction vessel (reaction continuous in pipe) and can utilize animal fats. That is the part for which patents are being sought (at the time of the discussion) and thus the information is not disclosed. This seems like a very good process, since it works at ambient heat and pressure (unlike most others, such as Energea's (www.energea.at) and the CD Process (www.biodiesel.de), but is not an inexpensive process, and is perhaps best suited to large scale commercial plants, leaving market niches for batch processes, at various scales.

They are estimating a production cost of $0.18 cents a litre which is very competitive in this market, how do these other large companies plan to compeet with such a process.
