Re: [Biofuel] It was bound to happen - is this the beginning of the endfor BD?

[francisco j burgos]

Dear Mr. Mike Weaver:
In South America we have been told that USA is the land of free enterprise 
and the land of opportunities and that all citizens are equal before the 
law... that is the reason that so many mexicans and southamericans emigrate 
to USA!!!.
 I can hardly beleave that citizen Arnold is not giving the plain americans 
a fair chance to work!!!... it seems to me that he is keeping the job 
(grease) to some of his friends!!. Perhaps he knows that you did non vote 
for him?... check on that.
Some tactics like those ones are applyed to us here in Venezuela by our 
governors and president, they are starving many of us to death.

 Gov Arnold signed into law in Sept 05 a waste collection law AB1065,
 that had no minimum use exemption and classified all restaurant waste as
 waste grease.
 There are several of us in California that have developed a letter that
 we have sent to our legislators and the author asking for an amendment.
 This law was sponsored by the refiners as a response to broken
 contracts. Another thing that they have been doing is making new
 contracts that have a all or nothing clause. They will not take the trap
 waste without the fryer oil. This new law requires anyone who collects
 waste grease in any amount to have a liscense and 1million dollar bond
 insurance. This is wrong and we are trying to fight it.  If any of you
 on this list live in CA please contact me so I can get you the copy of
 the letter.

[Biofuel] Transesterification Seperation after using ethanol

[francisco j burgos]

Dear sirs:
1.-Could you please indicate me if Free Fatty Acids are soluble in:
a) Glycerine
b) Biodiesel (tallow ethyl ester).
2.- Using Ethanol 99.9%, KOH, beef talow, I obtained BD (liquid at 25ºC, 
77ºF) but glicerine separation not detectable.
  Any suggestion?.

Thanks in advance,
Mr. F.J. Burgos

Nearly insoluble in glycerol, fully soluble in biodiesel.

Read The JtF webpages about ethyl esters. If you don't
get glycerine separation, it's not really biodiesel.

 Did you all hear today's Democracy Now? Looks like the US is letting
 Chavez sell heating oil at a 40% reduction to poor-er folk in Brooklyn and
 Boston.

 I imagine the petro boys and the corporate world are squirming right now:
 this is the first time a major corporation (Citgo?) has VOLUNTARILY taken
 a profit cut! This is, in my view, a major accomplishment and may signal
 the beginning of the end for corporate-America...

 I really hope Chavez is around next year.

Re: [Biofuel] Producing biodiesel from animal fat

Re: [Biofuel] Producing biodiesel from animal fat

[francisco j burgos]

Dear Mr. Duarte 
Nuno Januário:
I would advise to manufacture separately the WVO 
BDand Tallow BD. For sure it is easier if 
you use methanol.
Once you have the "biodiesels" I would add 80% WV 
BD + 20% Tallow BD, depending on temperature you want to use the 
blend.
Good luck,

Francisco, there is still some 4 or 5 % missing here.  My only concern is 
that the missing per
centage is water.   It says .2% water but it doesn't add up.  If the missing 
mass is water, it won't
work.  Water makes soap, not biofuel.  And with ethanol it is very, very 
important.

If the remainder is a hydrocarbon denaturant, then it should be no problem 
as small amounts of
hydrocarbons don't interfere. My recommendation is try it on a small scale 
and see if it works.

good luck

  Interesting -- It's possible you have absolute ethanol

  The short answer is YES, you should eventually be able to use
  your ethanol, which is adequately dry, to make biodiesel from
  your tallow, which is adequately clean. Temp. of 50 sounds a
  little high for ethanol (the high temp. discourages separation),
  and I don't have my calculator handy to check your ratios, but
  the reactants sound acceptable. Reaction time may be as long
  as 12 hours before glycerine separation occurs.
  
  Have you already made biodiesel with this feedstock using
  methanol instead of ethanol? May I ask why you want to use
  ethanol? The process is much less reliable and requires
  considerably more KOH than with methanol -- including up
  to 20% methanol in the alcohol portion increases your chance
  of success markedly. The Journey to Forever website has some
  information about the use of ethanol for transesterification, and
  what aspects of the process need to be modified. Check it out
  thoroughly.

Dear sirs.
I have a bottle labeled as: absolute ethanol 
95%, and among other things declares Water 0,2%.
Would it be good enough for beef tallow 
transesterification?.
I plan to dry tallow at 120ºCduring 15 
minutes; use 50ºC; molar ratio ethanol: tallow 6:1; turbulent mix; 
tallow has 0,25% FFA so Iwill use 0,60% of KOH; reaction time: 60 
minutes.
Do you think that I would be sucessful and obtain 
biodiesel ?.
Your advise will be the most apreciated. Thanks in 
advance.
Mr. F.J. Burgos.

Re: [Biofuel] best oil to make BD

[francisco j burgos]

Dear Mr. Tom Irwin:
thanks for your prompt replay and valuable 
information.
I am having a rough time in trying to transesterify tallow 
using ethanol and KOH, could you be kind enough and make me any process 
suggestions?.
Ihave tryed: a tallow with ony 2.5% of FFA; 
50ºC; 1% KOH; molar fraction basis , ethanol: tallow 6:1, up 
to 12 hours and obtained practically zero reaction ( none visible separation of 
glycerol out of gluk). Weird, dont you think?.
Yours truly,
Mr. F.J. Burgos

  Hello Mr. Burgos,
  
  Animal fat was a natural first choice as we produce a fair amount of beef 
  here in Uruguay.From my reading on the JTF site, I found that it was a 
  viable candidate and there are several papers available there for using it. It 
  made sense from a chemical standpoint as fat is essentially all saturated 
  hydrocarbon. With only single bonded carbons I knew that polymerization at 
  temperature is not likely. I tried about 10 or 15 small batches and never had 
  a single bad batch with methoxide as a cataylst. Then I shifted to ethoxide 
  andhad a few successes and many failures. I shifted back to methoxide to 
  check if my technique had gone bad. It hadn't.Istill got very good 
  separation of glycerine and all washed batches passed density, wash, chemical, 
  and motor testing. I'm currently working on waste vegetable oil which is 
  extraordinarily variable here. Titration testing is a must do task with each 
  new supplier and sometimes with each batch from each supplier but I get the 
  material for free. For me this is methoxide only territory but I'm still very 
  curious as to why I hadmostly failure butsome success with 
  ethoxide. I probably go back to it once I'm producing enough for my home and 
  farm needs.

  Hello Juan,
  
  I have found animal fat converts really easy to biodiesel. The main 
  obstacle is that it is primarily a summer only fuel as it solidifies at 
  about 10-14 C. A lot depends on what resources you have and your local 
  climate. If you have a farm with animals that need feed, perhaps canola 
  (non-GM variety) is a good candidate. It has a good oil yield per hectare 
  and a reasonably low iodine value. You can feed the crushed seedcake to 
  your livestock. If you are in a good sized town or city, waste vegetable 
  oil is usually available from restaurants. It'squite variable and 
  more difficult to convert than unused oil but you can usually get 
  itfor just your transport costs. If you live in apoorer area 
  then look for wild castor beans. They'rehave large yields and are 
  generally free for the picking but you can't use the seedcake for animal 
  feed. It composts rather well fora garden or farmsoil 
  amendment. It takes a stronger stomach than mine to deal with the 
  aroma. Castor oil was once used an an emetic to cause vomiting. Other I'm 
  sure have their favorites.

  cannot and do not talk to them about politics.. I have come to realize, 
  after 40 years, that they won't and probably can't change. I prize 
  family above rhetoric. I have finally learned it is better, in some 
  cases to be happy than to be right. OTOH, I did not live thru what they 
  did: WWII, most of them have been working since they could walk, and did 
  not have the benefits I have had.My father left Arkansas in his teens, 
  got a degree, was drafted and got a PhD. He moved East and saw to it 
  that his childred all went to college and grad school. We have all 
  travelled overseas and in some cases lived and/or worked in the 3rd 
  world. As Mark Twain said: nothing is as deadly to prejudice as 
  travel.I have to agree with pretty much everything you say. 
  Except, we have no real foreign policy, nor do we really have an energy 
  policy. We have a bully policy.No wonder 90% or the world is mad at 
  us. I don't blame them.OTOH, the French are not without warts - 
  look at West Africa. I am also interested to see what happens with 
  Western Europe with regards to their economies.The Western European 
  countries are belatedly realizing you can't just conjure an economy. You 
  have to have money before you can have generous social programs. This 
  what Germany and France are wrestling with now. I personally think a 
  realistic economic base - fewer regulations in some cases - in France it's 
  pratically illegal to start a small business, and God help you if you fail - 
  you can expect to investigated for fraud no matter what happened. 
  Complain about the USll you want but you can start a business w/o fear of 
  gaol. This one of the thing we do have to offer as a model for other 
  countries.This country has a ways to go in terms of social 
  programs. I still can't believe we don't have SOME form of national 
  health. The current system is collapsing. My sister is a doctor 
  and I can tell you the current program is failing. I also believe that 
  we need some form child care - if both parents must work there must be a safe 
  place for their children. Europe is miles ahead of us here.I

 Hi all,

 Still gathering my parts for my processor.  I found a 1 inch clear
 water pump that I'm going to use only for transferring the oil.  I
 don't know if anyone has a Habitat for Humanity store near them but,
 they always have a bunch of motors and pumps at the one near me.

 Unfortunately, I can't find any used TEFC motors.  I've resigned to
 buying a new TEFC motor for my stir processor.  I'm going to be using
 a 55 gallon drum as my reactor.  Looking at some of Todd Swearingen's
 diagrams and others, I think I should be able to get away with a 1/4
 HP motor.  A 1/3 HP motor is available locally but, I don't want to
 waste any energy or money.  Anyone have any guidelines on motor sizes
 based on processing capacity?

 Take care,
 Ken

I still can not separate glycerine from biodiesel.
Hint from some friend of mine:
Add (20% with respect to lippid employed)a 
hot and saturated KCl solution to promote splitting, it has to do with a 
phenomena called "common ion".

 Development Yields Antifreeze from Biodiesel

 From: http://www.renewableenergyaccess.com/

 Columbia, Missouri [RenewableEnergyAccess.com] -
 2005-08-18 - In addition to topping off your gas tank
 with biodiesel, a new advance could let you fill your
 vehicle's cooling system with a biomass-derived
 antifreeze.

 A new process developed at the University of
 Missouri-Columbia (MU) creates a valuable secondary
 product from the biodiesel manufacturing process that
 makes the production cycle both profitable and
 affordable.

 Galen Suppes, chief science officer of the MU-based
 Renewable Alternatives, developed a process for
 converting glycerin, a byproduct of the biodiesel
 production process, into propylene glycol, which can
 be used as nontoxic antifreeze for automobiles. Suppes
 said the new propylene glycol product will meet every
 performance standard, is made from domestic soybeans
 and is nontoxic.

 Suppes said this technology can reduce the cost of
 biodiesel production by as much as $0.40 per gallon of
 biodiesel. The market for propylene glycol already is
 established, with a billion pounds produced a year.

 The price of propylene glycol is quite high while
 glycerin's price is low, so based on the low cost of
 feed stock and high value of propylene glycol, the
 process appears to be most profitable, Suppes said.
 The consumers want antifreeze that is both renewable
 and made from biomass rather than petroleum from which
 propylene glycol currently is produced.

 The creation of a valuable secondary product could
 help mainstream the use of biodiesel. In 2004,
 biodiesel producers sold 30 million gallons of fuel,
 up from 500,000 gallons in 1999. It's still, however,
 a relatively niche fuel.

 At best, right now biodiesel production is only part
 of the solution, Suppes said. Current biodiesel
 production in the United States is about 0.03 billion
 gallons per year as compared to distillate fuel oil
 consumption of 57 billion gallons per year.

 Renewable Alternatives is currently licensing this
 technology to three biodiesel plants. The National
 Science Foundation and Missouri Soybean Farmers are
 helping to fund the research.

plus heat, stirring, etc...?
Assuming that esterification of FFA is achieved...  Under such treatment I

Subject: [Biofuel] Speaking of glop


Hi All,

After many successful batches made from vegetable oil ( both unused and
heavily used) I decided it was time to try all beef lard. Perhaps I
shouldn«t have used this method but I did anyway. I used Alex Kacs first
stage (of two) method. After liquifying the lard, I added the required 1 ml
of concentrated (98%) sulfuric acid at 35-37 degrees centigrade. While it
was all stirring for the required time period, somewhere around the 20
minute mark it nearly all solidified. I checked the temperature. It was
still within the required range. I ramped up the heat to about 55 degrees C.
and it all liquified. Did I read something wrong or do something wrong? I
wasn«t expecting solidification until I turned off the heat. I let it sit
overnight, reheated to 55 C. the next day and performed the second stage
base transesterification. It seemed to go well. I got good separation but
upon washing I got the dreaded white layer (which I think is unreacted lard)
between the BioD and the water later. Do I need to use more than 1 ml of
sulfuric acid because I«m using all lard? Now Keith, I have been reading the
archives but I seem to have missed something.

Thanks in advance,

Tom Irwin

Hi Derick, welcome


Hi all I am new to this forum so if I step on some toes let me know.


There are rules, which the Welcome message you were sent referred to:
http://wwia.org/pipermail/biofuel/Week-of-Mon-20040906/05.html

They're sensible enough, you shouldn't have any problems.


I have been looking into the biodiesal for a few months now and there

has

been a lot of good articles. I have been printing them and studying

them. I

have now have a processing system I have built and it professional

looking

if I do say so.
I got some feed stock from the local from the local slop shop. (Ill

never

eat there again. Yuck)


No, don't eat there!


What I did. First try transesterfication


Titration? How did you go about it?


I got a reading of 9 I added the
3.5 to a total of 12.5 grams per liter. Mixed the methoxide 125 mil


125ml of methanol per litre of oil? Not nearly enough - the process
uses about that amount (depending on the oil), but it needs an excess
to push it towards completion, particularly with high FFA oils like
the stuff you've found. Use 200ml per litre, at least, 220 would be
better for that stuff, or even 250.


dewatered the oil after cooling added the methoxide shook it over and

over.

Looked ok by what I have read but as it cooled It got thicker and

thicker

until a solid plastic bottle was shaming me. So back to the drawing

board I

found that the alcohol I used for testing was not pure only 70% so off

to

the store bought 99% the best available figured I would get a new red

devil

caustic soda just because it might do better. The next test came out to
11.25 + 3.5 = 14.5 dewatered the oil to the point of almost burning it.
Added the methoxide shook for some time let it set and shook it more

over

and over this time I left it in a bucket of hot tap water so it

wouldn't

jell. After a few hours went back to --

glop

slop glop. What am I doing wrong? I have read that more methanol is

needed

to push it over the edge. Is the extra methanol added to the methoxide

or to

the oil? Before the methoxide or after?


Your main problem is that you're using very poor quality WVO. Very
few newbies will have any luck trying to use such high titration oil.
Even experienced biodieselers will have failures with 11.25 titration
WVO, and even when they succeed the yield will be poor.

You shouldn't start with WVO anyway, Start here, with virgin oil:
Where do I start?
http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html#start

Then you'll know what to expect. When you're familiar with that, move
on to WVO, but, at least at first, find better oil! Something
titrating at say 3.5ml or less would be more suitable for a novice.

Give this whole page (two pages and more, with the links) a thorough
read:

http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html
Make your own biodiesel

Blenders are better than shaking it up in a bottle, or make one of
these:

Hello,

I work at a wastewater treatment plant and I was doing a search on 
glycerin

and biofuels and came across your website.  It's has good information
thanks.

Here's another use of glycerin:  Our treatment is accepting the glycerin
from a biofuel producer, we feed it to our digesters, slowly very slowly.
The addition of glycerin has dramatically increased our gas production,
that we run all three engines that produce  electricity for our plant and
occasionally need to flare off the excess methane (we have 4 flares).

This might be of interest to your readers that use digestion for
electricity.

Dear Keith and list,

My name is Helen Renold and I'm writing from
Switzerland on behalf of a group (ca. 35 people) who
have begun to get together as a community trying to be
self sufficient as far as possible.  We have among us
various professions and skills by which we try to
support each other's needs independent of the
government.  As I said we try to do this as much as
possible within our financial limitations.  But we
have spent about a year and a half being sensitised to
the world economic and political situation through
various medias and discussions and research.  One of
our main goals is to help each other get out of our
debts.

And one of our main concerns has been alternative
energies.  This is one area where we do not have much
expertise at all.  We have looked into free energy
systems that we've heard and read a lot about but
there doesn't seem to be much available nor much
alternative energy system that is really cost
efficient.  Perhaps we have not looked in the right
places.  I have tried to keep up with this list for
about a year but I'm still not anywhere near
understanding the possibilities that are actually
available.  However, we are willing to get organised
and be committed to work and maintain any system of
energy that can keep us independent of the grid as
much as possible.

We are looking for someone near us (Switzerland) who
would take the time to advise and show us practical
alternatives if there are really any.  We meet
collectively to discuss and study once a month.  It
would be great to have someone with the expertise
present a lecture on alternative energies.  It would
be even better if we could experience some
demonstrations too.

Is there anyone available from this list?  I look
forward to receiving any advise on this matter.

Thank you,

Helen Renold

Re: [Biofuel] Transesterification versus solvent/filtering methods

I wonder if is it possible to obtain a good Biodiesel using a blend of 50% 
Biodiesel + 50% Stoddard solvent.
Any one knows Stoddard solvent price?. Are there different kinds of Stoddard 
solvent?.

Thanks in advance,

Hello Chris

Been having a look over www.bio-power.co.uk. The process they are using is 
based on adding solvents and filtering  settling the oils into a product 
suitable for road fuel. The process seems to produce little waste and uses 
no dangerous chemicals. What are your views on this method as oppose to 
transesterification? This method does at first glance have its appeals but 
I am wondering about possible disadvantages.


Hm, yes. John Nicholson's operation. This is what it says about it at our 
website:


... A variation on this theme is adding a solvent to the veg oil to lower 
the viscosity -- usually 3% white spirit (a.k.a. mineral turpentine, 
Stoddard solvent, turpentine substitute). This raised a lot of interest 
after it was publicized on a British TV program -- 
just add a spoonful. It also raised a lot of scepticism: 'experimental' 
at best was the view of experienced SVO'ers, and steer well clear 
unless you have a 5-cyl IDI Mercedes (in which case you don't even need 
the white spirit). We agree. Work on blends of SVO with other solvents, 
such as butanol and ethanol, is still experimental. By all means go ahead 
and experiment, but there are no guarantees.

http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html#1mixing

The experienced SVO'ers were Biofuel list members, and some of them were 
much ruder than that about it.


I haven't followed it closely (not very interested), but we do get a lot 
of input and feedbck and I think if there'd been some revolutionary 
development I'd probably have heard of it.


However, have a look at Darren's site, which will have a more thorough and 
up-to-date treatment of it:


Vegetable Oil as a Fuel by Darren Hill -- book-length online report, 
mainly UK-based: The Diesel Engine, Theory of Vegetable Oil Use as a Fuel, 
Engine suitability, Heating the Oil, Biodiesel, Micro Emulsions and 
Blends, Vegetable Oil Engine Design, Vegetable Oil Furnaces and Heaters, 
Oil Types and Filtering, Taxation, Implications of Vegetable Oil Fuel Use,

Re: [Biofuel] Pre transesterification with heterogen catalyst

[francisco j burgos]

I happen to have access to fat/oil from a tannery fat trap, which of 
course contains certain amount of chrome salts...
Would it be reasonable to think that during acid esterification the chrome 
would become water soluble and then can be eliminated futherly when the 
biodiesel obtained  via basic esterification is water washed?.
So, assumming that  produced biodiesel would contains minute amount of 
chrome,  can it be used legally as fuel?.

Are there any limits for chrome content in biodiesel?.

Dear,

I have an laboratorium experiment about biodiesel from crude palm oil

There was quite a lot of discussion of processing CPO with high FFA 
content a while ago at the Biofuels-biz list (since closed, its functions 
taken  over by the Biofuel list). The list archives is still available - 
do a search here for Allen:


http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuels-biz/
Information Archive at NNYTech

Check messages titled High FFA oils and hi ffa feed stocks.

first, I try to remove the FFA with esterification. I used cation 
exchanger (Amberlite) as catalyst. its succes to reduce the acid value 
from 46 to 1.3.


then, transesterified using KOH as catalyst. after this reaction, I wash 
the ester using warm water. but, I found a lot of soap when I mix the 
ester with water. I can't explain why, may somebody help me?


It would help if you'd explain exactly what you did and what results you 
got when you mixed it with water - how did you mix it? What washing 
process did you use?

[Biofuel] WVO esterification with heterogeneous catalyst

[francisco j burgos]

Senior Engineer
Engineering Center BPPT Indonesia

Dear Mr. Rahmadi:

1.- Do you estimate that is theoretically correct to say that after acid 
esterification (using heterogeneous catalyst) the remaining oils and fats 
can be incorporated into feed rations formulation?.
2.- Could you please tell me: Once the excess of methyl alcohol has been 
removed, is there any industrial technique (besides molecular distillation) 
that allows separation of methyl esters from mon-di-tri-glycerides (oils  
fats)?.

Thanks in advance,
Mr. F.J. Burgos

Dear Iwan,

In my opinion, you got soap because significant FFA still present in the
CPO.

You may either do the following two alternatives:
1. You may remove the free fatty acid in Crude Palm Oil by reacting with
NaOH and separate the soap using a centrifuge, do the transesterification
reaction and wash the products with warm water to remove glycerol, some
methanol and NaOH. You may use physical process of deacidification of CPO,
but I don't think it will be suitable for a lab scale experiment as it 
needs

high vacuum and relatively high temperature of operation and off course
availability of heating media such as steam or heating oil.

2. You may carry out esterification of Free fatty acid using Acid Catalyst
such as H2SO4, followed by Transesterification of triglycerides in CPO 
using

base catalyst. The rest, you may do the usual step by washing the products
with warm water and recover methanol using distillation and further
purification of your glycerol.
We have tried the method in our pilot plant (1.5 tonnes per day) in 
PUSPITEK

Serpong Indonesia, and it works well for the CPO feed stock that
characteised by high FFA content. I will leave it up to you the exact 
amount

of catalysts and methanol .

Good Luck,

Arie Rahmadi

Dear,

I have an laboratorium experiment about biodiesel from crude palm oil

first, I try to remove the FFA with esterification. I used cation
exchanger (Amberlite) as catalyst. its succes to reduce the acid value 
from

46 to 1.3.


then, transesterified using KOH as catalyst. after this reaction, I wash
the ester using warm water. but, I found a lot of soap when I mix the

1) I am please to share with you my views about Jatropha after a detailed 
literature research during the last 2 years. We are about to start a work 
to domesticate Jatropha here in Brasil.


2) Those are the figures I am using for a local project using Jatropha 
curcas L.


*Planting*: 2 a 3 kg of _*seeds *_per hectare.(Approx. 1.300 seeds / Kg.). 
Assume 50% of seed will not generate healthy plants.**


*Potential  harvesting  ( _seeds_ not fruit ) *

*1¼ year*130   kg/ha**

*2¼  *520   kg/ ha

*3¼*1300   kg/ha

*4¼*2600   kg/ha

*5¼*4160   kg/ha

*6¼ till  30¼ year*6300   kg/ha

*Harvesting :* 1.300 a 2.500 kg _*seeds*_ per  hectare  third  year and on

*Productivity harvesting ( man hour ):* 2 kg a 3 kg seeds/ men hour  there 
are no  mechanical equipment for jatropha yet. Assume  will maintain plant 
height at 2m. at the most.


*Oil content*: 5kg a 5,5 kg of seed has 1,25 litres a 1,48 liters of oil. 
( 25% up to 35% content of oil )To run calculations  be conservative like 
i am as of now. There are no scientific hard data on this . First large 
experiment is being conduct by Daimler Benz at Gujarat, India .So far so 
good.


*__**__**__*Oil pressing efficiency: *__* 80 % o the potential oil  (1,0 
liters a 1,19 liters per hour ) (semi-industrial)

Cleaning efficiency: about  90 %

Transesterification: about 97% efficient

You have to dry the fruit in the shadow. Peel it clean the seed and than 
press it properly. *Very important to press it properly and degum the pure 
oil in order to get a good biodiesel at the end. There are few critical 
tricks.*


Pls note my numbers are *conservative not pessimistic not optimistic*. I 
contacted Africa, Germany ( Gtz, Reinhard at Hoekeheim University, etc. ) 
India ( Dr.  Satish, etc. ) and Nicaragua and came up with above figures. 
Actual numbers will be better than those prior indicated so you can run a 
sensitivity for a 10% increase on final number of biodiesel.. Actual 
numbers will be in this range

Dear Sailesh,

Thank you for visiting the Volkswagen Web site. We appreciate your inquiry
on Volkswagen's position on using biodiesel fuel.

B100 stands for 100% biodiesel. It is a diesel fuel derived from biomass
feedstock such as soybeans. It can be blended with regular diesel fuel (B20
= 20% biodiesel/80% regular diesel, for example). In Europe our diesel
engines are certified to operate any blend of the biodiesel that is
available in Europe. European biodiesel is different than biodiesel in the
U.S. since it is produced from different feedstock (the rapeseed plant
versus the soy plant).

Our parent company does not agree with the specifications for biodiesel in
the U.S. and does not recommend its use in any percentage. Using biodiesel
will invalidate our warranty.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact Volkswagen
Customer Care at 800-822-8987.

Thank you for your submission!

Nothing says you couldn't do such, one thing to remember that the main
difference is the additives, and that the slower running the Diesel 
engine

is, the heavier the hydrocarbons ( and lower the cetane value of fuel )


that


can be used, without to much problems. In theory, you could design a
engine that ran on heavy crude oil, but, it would need to be a slow


running


engine.

Diesel engines that run at higher RPMs, and Diesel engines that do a lot


of

speed changes ( low RPM / high RPM / low RPM / and high again, such as 
you

find with around town driving ) needs a lighter hydrocarbon, and a higher
cetane value for better performance. In theory a cetane value of about
45-50 is best for in city driving, although 40 would be fine for long
distance hwy driving, 35 should be fine for a farm tractor and oil 
furnace

use.

Re: [Biofuel] OK for biodiesel?

[francisco j burgos]

white spirit (1.-Common synonyms: Stodadart Solvent; Petroleum Spirits, 
Mineral Spirit; 2.-Common Trade names: Exxsol, Shellsol, Solvesso) is made 
of light aromatics (CAS N¼ 647 42-95-6) that comes from petroleum processing 
industry.  Some aromatic chemicals  in their pure state, at high 
concentration in air and/or skin exposure specially with long time exposure 
it is sayed may be carcinogenic.

Some one wrote that he added white spirit to the Biodiesel in order to
keep clean the fuel system... since white spirit is made of light aromatics 
(CAS N¼ 647 42-95-6) I wonder if it is legal in USA such Biodiesel/white 
spirit blend, if so, in which %.  It is very important to clarify this 
matter.

Just about anything in the usa is legal, except distilling drinkable

Re: [Biofuel] Net environmental concerns

Up to now seems like the balance is favourable to WVO... I still have a

industially reclaim the waste/spent solutions or at least dispose them 
safely?.

Correct me if I am wrong...but while it seems that burning WVO of unknown 
content may potentially emit more of some harmful emissions at the 
tailpipe than other fuels, it seems that a lifecycle look may still reveal 
a net environmental benefit...no?


When one collects WVO from the local fryer, all of the energy used to 
drill, transport, and refine crude is avoided. The emissions from that 
energy consumption is surly not negligible and must be considered as an 
output when using those fuels. What about the damage to ecosystems from 
drilling/mining? Then there is the threat of crude oil spills.  Then there 
is the potential reduction of illegal grease dumping which leads to 
massive water pollution problems due to sewage system blockage (Look at 
Atlanta, GA for a great example). That is also giving no consideration to 
the massive damage done by nations in efforts to secure oil supplies. 
While some harmful emissions are raised, others are reduced. Carbon 
emissions being net zero, Sulfur Oxides almost zero... The list of 
positives (even just within the environmental consideration) still seems 
to still outweigh the negatives. Is this a fair assumption?

Hi Jonathan,

A straightforward question deserves,  will get, a straightforward answer: 
Personal preference due to E-85 fuel is not available (that I know of) in 
Georgia. I've also read in my Chrysler Owner's manual that you have to use 
a special type of motor oil if you use E-85 fuel. If you don't, there will 
be excessive engine wear.


Hope that helps.

Glad I could be of help to folks that have questions. I haven't had much 
time to make any more BD than the 5 or 6 gallons I made recently. I added 
about 2.2 gallons (a bit over 10%) to the fuel in my Chrysler TC mini van 
earlier this month. The 3.3 L V-6 Flex Fuel engine seemed to like the 
that. Since the Jeeps are fairly new, I only add about .5 gallons to their 
fuel, while adding 10% to the fuel of my lawn tractors. As soon as I have 
the chance to make more BD, I'll use it more frequently in the vehicles.

Hello Al,

I'm the one that posted a while back about mixing a percentage of
BD, about 10 - 15%, with my gas  using it in my lawnmower, as well
as my mini van  Jeeps. It was sucessful. So far, I add BD to my gas
frequently. This cleans the build-up out. I noticed my mileage drops
a bit, but when I fill up with 100% gasoline, I get better mileage 
power. To this day, I have not had any sort of engine problems.


Do you have more detail on the frequency you've used BD?

I did, onlist, but I shouldn't have to. It's even in the List rules -
more guidance than rules, though there are rules too:

The archives contains more than 38,000 messages over nearly five
years. The question you want to ask or the topic you're interested in
has probably already been covered. That's no reason not to ask it
again, but if you know what's gone before you'll ask a better
question and get better answers.

Everyone's been referred to that at least once. List members should
know how to use the archives and do it as a matter of course. The
Rules are here:

http://wwia.org/pipermail/biofuel/Week-of-Mon-20040906/05.html

For instance, so far, apart from news items, very little that's been
said in the current discussion on Bush, Kerry, Iraq, Afghanistan,
Israel etc, hasn't already been discussed, affirmed, confirmed,
substantiated, debunked, discredited, blown right out of the water,
probably several times. A look at the archives first would yield a
better, more constructive discussion, from which everybody benefits.
Otherwise it just goes round and round, to little avail, and with
much more risk of it degenerating into a flame war.

PLEASE, everybody, use the archives!

Hello All,

The Human Race is no doubt slowly destroying the
planet we inhabit. This continuous methodical
destruction will at some point reach critical
mass. Debates continue over Global warming with
both side attempting to prove it's existence or
lake thereof. When the focus should be on
addressing the known problems and researching ways
to ensure our future.

It never fails to amaze me that so many people are
enamored with blasting the United States and its
leadership and even going as far as labeling
America the Great Evil and comparing President
Bush to Adolph Hitler. I've read so many post on
this list attacking America and President Bush but
I have not seen any critiquing Sadam Hussein, the
Warlords of the African continent, Kim Chong-il,
or the terrorist who killed hundreds of children
in Chechnya. While it appears to be trendy to
criticize the US and it's leadership I guess these
people get a pass for their most heinous action
http://www.channel4.com/news/2004/06/week_2/09_sud
an.html (Sudan Crisis).

Ethnic cleansing claims the lives of hundreds upon
thousands of innocent people every year. It's this
fact that people from different religious and
ethnic groups around the world can't accept each
other that fuels many of the wars of today. Don't
get me wrong, I don't believe for one minute that
oil is not an important part of why American
troops are in Iraq today. It is a simple fact that
if a country needs a resource that they are
lacking, they will go to war to get it, or protect
it. That is one of the primary reasons for Japan's
invasion of China in WWII and it's attack on Pearl
Harbor. The global shortage of today is primarily
energy, mostly in the form of oil. And it's
getting worse
http://www.janes.com/business/news/fr/fr040421_1_n
.shtml (Oil Crisis). But soon there will be
another major resource that wars will be waged
over
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/in_depth/w
orld/2000/world_water_crisis/default.stm (Water
Crisis). Which will in turn produce another
resource shortage the will generate even more wars
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0831-01.ht
m (Food Crisis).

But then there is one more crisis that may very
well be the end to resource shortages, wars, and
our planet killing lifestyles.
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns999
96114 (AIDS Epidemic). If this crisis is left
unchecked it could reduce the global population to
levels where the available resources can then meet
the demand and wars will not be so necessary for
ensuring a future existence.

I don't believe governments of the world hold the
solution to our problems. If consumers stop buying
certain products or services all together, then
pretty soon those products and services will be
gone. Countries can correct their unemployment
rates and trade deficits without government
intervention when their citizens buy products
produced within their own country. If we, the
citizens of the world would simply do as I have
read many post hear before, produce some(food,
fuel, etc) for yourself with a little extra for
our neighbor then we can stop the methodical
destruction of our world. But thinking the
governments of this world will take the lead is a
fallacy. It's grass roots or bust!


Of course, who would care what I have to
say...really. I'm just an American Redneck with
a low IQ of 160.

If you read this far I hope you can accept me for
who I am and work with me in spite of our
differences so that we can together make a
difference in saving this planet we share.

Tim

As long as the Palestinians only kill Israeli children  grandmothers,

let's
sell them the bombs.  If the PLO murders any Americans, I'd vote to

Following some of the election speeches by Bush, he is talking by the 
3,800+ Americans that died at WTC. If I am not completely misinformed, 
about half of them were foreign nationals originally, but they must have 
been adopted by presidential decree or some other mechanism. A very nice 
gesture, but the problem I have, were they asked before they became 
Americans? I heard that if you are born on American soil, you are 
automatically American or have the right to be, I did not know that it was 
the same case if you died on American soil.

  I have quotes from some of the big guys for
  what they consider a Minimum size turnkey ethanol plant, and the
  numbers are scary.  The way I break it down, their quotes are around
  $4.50 - $5.00 per gallon of annual ethanol capacity.  That translates to
  a small 5 million gallon/year distillery costing about $25 million.
  They would much rather build a 50 million gallon/year distillery for
  about $200 million, since the same time and energy is expended in
  designing each.
 ===
 Folks,

 Corn = Maize
 MGY = million gallons per year
 50 million gallons = 189,271,000 liters

 On a previous reply earlier today, I was not correct by stating that the
 above 200 million costs were 4 times inflated (my estimate was $50 mill).
 An actual estimate below comes to $79,499,800 for a new 50 MGY plant.

 I would like to know if the turnkey distillery that Peggy was thinking
 about above, would use a wet mill or dry mill process. That could mean a
 great deal on costs per gallon of ethanol produced. A wet mill is more
 expensive to build and operate.

 New natural gas fired 50 MGY DRY mill plant quoted start up costs for
 ground breaking early next year (in $USD):

 Plant construction-   60,264,881
 Land  Development-3,630,000
 Railroad tracks-   2,435,000
 Admin building-  210,000
 Office Equipment- 75,000
 Computers,software-  100,000
 Construction bond-   500,000
 Const. insurance-120,000
 Const. Contingency-1,009,919
 Fire protect  water 840,000
 Capitalized interest-  1,350,000
 Rolling stock-   320,000
 Start up costs-8,645,000
 
 Total 79,499,800

 Start up costs would be such items as fuel, corn feedstock inventories,
 financing costs, pre-production costs, working capital, chemicals,
 ingredients, and spare parts.

 1) Let us remember that the 50 MGY output is a 'guarantee' and that in
 actual practice from previous plant experiences, the output is around 3
 million gallons OVER the guarantee after the first or second year.

 2) These plants have all the bells and whistles today with regard to
 pollution controls and...you won't get a neighbor complaining about the
 smells.

 3) Also, a co-product is produced for sale (protein feed) that can add 20%
 to the revenue stream.

[Biofuel] Putting O2 to the air input

[Francisco J. Burgos]

Would be a good idea to check the engine compression and injection system,
if they in good shape, so using the adecuate diesel fuel and normal
driving habits, smoke should be minimal... F

 All diesels do that, because, the engine is working harder, so more fuel
is
 added to compensate.  Black smoke is also an indication of fuel burning in
 the exhaust manifold, which is also bad.   Lots of black smoke means your
 working the engine hard harder than you should.

 Find out what kind of diesel you are using #1 or #2, that can make a
 difference.  The #2 has longer carbon chains  lower cetane, shorter
carbon
 chains and higher cetane of #1 is better on hills, most fuel stations sell
 #2 in the summer, because it has a higher BTU content than #1 ( and so
they
 can claim better mileage ), but sell #1 in the winter because it makes the
 engine easier to start when the temperatures drop.

 If you want to burn up your engine, use the O2, if you don't, back off on
 the pedal, gear down, and don't worry about keeping up with the rest of
 traffic, and that will cut the black smoke as well.

  Yet another of my random and crazy  questions,
 
  It bothers me that my diesel puts out black smoke when it starts or is
  going up a steep hill.
 
  I recently discovered an oxygen tank in our basement probably for my
  greatgrandfather.
 
  The black smoke means that there is an incomplete reaction probably
  caused by insufficient oxygen. So what if I were to feed some oxygen to
  the air filter of the engine?
 
  I know it will overheat because of more combustion, but theoretically it
  shouldn't overheat too much since I wont be using it all the time and I
  wont be playing with the amount of fuel injected.
 
  Kinda like a NOS system without the cooling and preassurising effect.
 
 
  Thanks for your time if you bother to answer

 How much oil per lb? That is what I wish I knew.  There is no
 information on this yet. None.
 
 Nobody has ever harvested termites on a large scale (as of yet) or
 made any real investigation into the different products that could
 be refined from insects such as termites. Termites do, however, have
 a high fat and protien content, and some species have large fatty
 deposits on them which are clearly visible. Termites are known as a
 high energy food source because of this high fat content. There are
 other goodies produced by termites also. Their exoskeletons are made
 up of a natural polymer called chitin, a very promising and
 valuable substance, which has many uses of it's own, and can be
 converted to another substance called chitosan, which also is a high
 value substance.
 

http://www.bae.ncsu.edu/courses/bae465/1995_projects/bake/smith/index1.html
 
 Uses of chitin and its derivatives:
 One of the more important things that chitin, and its products,
 could be used for is in treating burn patients. Chitin has a
 remarkable compatibility with living tissue, and has been looked at
 for its ability to increase the healing of wounds. There is also
 evidence that chitosan can reduce serum cholesterol levels. More
 research has also indicated that chitosan can increase crop yields,
 and clean and clear up pools.
 
 http://www.psrc.usm.edu/macrog/sea/chitin.htm
 
 After extracting the fat for biodiesel or other uses (preferably
 higher value than biodiesel if possible), and the chitin as another
 high value product, you are left with protien, which also should
 have value. Not sure about the economics of it, but with high value
 products like that, it would definitely beat an energy-only
 solution. Capital cost would also be much, much lower for raising
 termites than something like gasification, pyrolysis, or alcohol
 fermentation, etc, and it could be done on a small scale, for a
 family farm!
 
 Concepts like this, making multiple bio-based products through
 bio-refining of one feedstock source will outcompete simply burning
 the biomass for it's energy content only, and will be capable of
 paying a higher price for the biomass, leaving biomass power plants
 and other facilities which use biomass for energy only at a great
 disadvantage, if there is competition for the resources. Non-energy
 uses will always win out in the end it seems! Energy is the lowest
 value product and should always be the by-product of some higher
 value use if it's going to compete, in my opinion. I didn't know
 this before, but it seems to be all too true! Just a warning to
 anyone who was thinking the way I did before I learned this! Energy
 should be a byproduct of biomass useage, not the primary product to
 have any hope to compete against fossil fuels, and in the future, no
 biomass power plant (or fossil power plant) will compete against a
 bio-refinery!! IMHO!!
 
 Sincerely,
 Matt
