Re: Fw: [biofuel] Shell buys stake in bioethanol fuel firm Iogen
Greg, Thanks for this - it is the article I was referring to. I work with some people who teach about petroleum engineering and they visit our local Shell refinery (here in Sydney, Australia). I had planned on going with them on the next visit and am interested in what Shell Australia is doing. Thanks again Regards, Philip Dolan Greg and April [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is this the Shell artical ?

Privately owned, Ottawa-based Iogen focuses on bioethanol, a high-octane alcohol formed by fermenting sugars found in plant fibre such as wood and straw. Its goal is to mass produce bioethanol, which can be blended with gasoline to produce a more environmentally friendly fuel. Shell, the Anglo-Dutch giant that owns 72 percent of Shell Canada Ltd. , the country's No. 2 integrated oil firm, will own just over 20 percent of Iogen in return for the investment, an Iogen executive said. Shell is not the first petroleum firm to pump money into Iogen, which employs about 100 people and owns a C$35 million ($22.3 million) demonstration plant. Petro-Canada , the country's No. 4 producer, refiner and marketer, provided seed funding in late 1997 that helped Iogen build its pilot plant in Ottawa. Lesley Taylor, a spokeswoman for Shell Canada, said Iogen's process could substantially reduce total greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. In terms of of sustainable development, it would definitely be an interesting development for us, she said. We would be open to using (bioethanol) once it's commercially available and viable. Some Canadian fuel retailers, such as Husky Energy Inc. and Suncor Energy Inc. , already blend ethanol into their gasoline to reduce pollution. Most of the world's 30 billion litres a year of ethanol is produced from sugar cane in Brazil and from grains in the United States. In Brazil, the United States and Sweden it is already blended into gasoline. Royal Dutch/Shell Group said it recognized that fuel using such traditionally produced ethanol is unlikely to ever compete commercially with normal gasoline, but bioethanol offers a more economic and sustainable blending component. The firm has earmarked $500 million of investment over a five-year period for cleaner energy projects.

Re: [biofuel] VEG-Therm Sale almost over!
Hi I'm interested - how does it work, can I use a 12 volt transformer to run it from our 240 volts mains power to heat WVO for preheating before filtering?

Re: [biofuel] VEG-Therm Sale almost over!
Thanks. I'll find out if the system can handle the 35 amps as well as the flow rate and get back to you. Philip Neoteric Biofuels Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi - It is primarily for on-engine use, to heat SVO on its way to the injectors, but could be used for this under the right circumstances If you supply 12 volt power via a transformer that is fine, but it needs to be able to handle 35 amps or so as a load, since the heater can draw up to about 32 amps when it is operating at full power. The amperage draw drops off as the oil gets warmer, in the case of recirculation in a diesel fuel system (return fuel back to tank). The flow rate for in-shop filtering might be too high - if so you could loop it, run the oil through it several times in a loop, and when hot enough you can then filter the oil. So, how well it would work for you in that application depends on the flow rate you want -how quickly you want to heat up the oil.
