Jan,
    Sorry I'm slow to respond. I've been away.
 
     Where is the mineral precipitate?
 
     I've gotten inverted splits, and one's in which the mineral precip. did not want to settle, but I don't think you will get FFA and glycerine w/o a mineral precip (the third layer).
 
     Is it in a glass jar or something that allows you to see it clearly?
    
     I had some difficulty at first ...... used too much acid  ....
but eventually started having good success. I find that allowing the mix to sit in the sun on a hot day greatly accelerates the process  ---->  good split.
     I don't process the FFA into BD. I hope to add it to the BD  I use to heat my house.
        Best of luck,
                         Tom

Jan,
    Is one of the layers the mineral precipitate?

I have tried to seperate the FFA and Glycerine in the way as Todd Swearingen has described It.
 
I only get two layers instead of three, can anyone explan this?
 
When I want to recycle the FFA in the first step of my Two Stage Acid Base proces do I have to add extra Methanol?
 
 
With kind regards,
 
 
 
Jan Lieuwe Bolding
