I have done a tritation of the washed bio and it gave me a 0.075 tritation as per the 'Better tritation" method. I'm concerned that I have converted some of the Bio back to FFA's. My questions are:- A. Is this enough catalist to neutralize the acid? B. If so how much Methanol should I use for the reaction? C. Is this the best method to bring this batch back to PH 7? > >Thanks >Mick Ellis _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
