Mark, I know of a project where they have been burning WVO and tallow, there is an on going project at Didcot (UK) with 9 x 1.6 MWe 3512 CAT units on WVO and tallow, monitoring the emissions, Oxygen is being provided across the fence from a facility who produce the stuff as a by-product. Will let you know the results of the tests as and when Peter (ex-Stockport UK, now Tanzania) . -----Original Message----- From: mark schofield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 05, 2003 5:17 AM To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [biofuel] Brain fart.
