That's only 88 gallons a day. If you go the route you're suggesting you're going to pay megabucks for a setup you can easily build yourself for a few thousand dollars or less, without the need for any consultant or organization other than the informal biofuels network you already belong to. You can easily do this with a batch processor, or two running in parallel. Just add extra units for washing, settling, etc. There are several good possibilities described here, working models that are in production: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_processor.html Biodiesel processors Keep going - there are five pages of it. Try not to burden your operation with unnecessary costs at the outset. If you need help, anyone with a bit of engineering or plumbing experience can help you with this, maybe for nothing if it's a friend. Figure out your process first with small test batches, become completely familiar with it, apply it to the various feedstocks you'll be using so you know just what's involved. Then you can build your processors, find a couple of good staff if you need them, train them well and be nice to them. Source your raw materials, find out about local regulations and requirements, including safety. Pay attention to the by-products, separation, treatment, markets. You should find everything you need at Journey to Forever, and in the archives of our two mailing lists. Build a small greywater system to take care of the waste water - it's milder than what comes out of most people's dishwashers and washing machines (especially if they have babies, with diapers). You could even grow some good organic food at the end of the greywater system, perhaps as a community project. Regards Keith ------------------------ Yahoo!
