these fellas are trying to sell plants. what they're saying is their plant can process anything you wish to feed it. what they don't say is at what cost per litre, or what the $ per installed capacity is.
 
people making these 'universal' plants tend to omit such information. they just say what feedstocks it can tranesterify, how many litres a year it can produce, and how many million dollars you need to get going.
 
neat mead is neat. cheers, dick.

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!

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."
