Hello Christopher >Does anyone have any tips about the production of b100 using ethanol >from wvo and/or algae?
I already told you this: "There's no such thing as biodiesel from algae apart from a few lab samples. When it does eventually emerge it will almost certainly be on the industrial scale, most likely using patented bio-engineered strains of algae. Not for backyarders." >I believe ethanol will be the best bet for me b/c of cost and danger/ >regulations, even though it's >harder to work with. http://journeytoforever.org/ethanol_link.html#ethylester Ethyl esters -- making ethanol biodiesel This is the first thing it says: "1. Get plenty of experience making biodiesel with methanol before you try it with ethanol." You're starting in the wrong place. Start here: "Where do I start?" <http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html#start> Follow the instructions, step by step. Forget anything else you've read. Study everything on that page and the next page and at the links in the text. It tells you everything you need to know. It's not just us who say so, it's largely the result of a collaborative effort over 10 years involving thousands of people worldwide, it's what works.
