wvo already has a market in most parts of the world. adding demand for biodiesel production will soon erode whatever price advantage over vvo it might have today.  What is the WVO market? In the UK this market is in decline because of stricter aniamal feeds regulation. What exactly is the nature of the WVO market? In my limited experience it seems to be confined to the above ...... anybody else got any input?   How come those guys in Florida are using WVO? Bet they made a few gallons of MUD (Messed Up Diesel) in the process of getting it right!   which guys ? whereabouts in florida ? what sort of volume/yr are we talking about here ? what process are they using ? what cetane index (uk = 50 us = 40) ?   "OceanAir Environmental owns and operates a biodiesel (methyl ester) production facility in Lakeland, Florida, that was designed primarily for processing used cooking oils.  Technology advances, compared to that normally used for processing of low fatty acid seed oils, enable us to process very high fatty acid grease and oils that are not considered typical biodiesel feedstocks.  To date we have processed feedstocks such as used cooking oils; yellow greases; tallow; lard; and waste animal grease containing in excess of 30% free fatty acid (FFA).  In addition, we have processed other high fatty acid streams (in excess of 40% FFA) from internally generated intermediates."       Biofuels at Journey to Forever http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel at WebConX http://www.webconx.com/2000/biofuel/biofuel.htm To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your use of Yahoo!
