[biofuels-biz] Is 10% EthOH, 10%water, 20% bio, 60% diesel the ultimate blend?

2002-05-24 Thread gjkimlin
Some recent discussion on water injection focused on the cooling effect of the water and or ethanol. That is important as it would increase the effective turbo boost and increase the power output. If the boost effect is substantial though the increase in cylinder pressures must be a concern.

David, Keith, Haven't tried mixing BD and ethanol but found BD and methanol did not mix. Recent batch from high FFA WAF turned to soap. Broke the emulsion with conc acetic acid, filtered and washed the BD +FFA. Mixture titrated equivalent to 3.25g NaOH/L (titration method as per feedstock).

Are you sure about this, Keith? I have tried to mix hydrous ethanol (about 80%) with biodiesel by shaking in a glass jar, and found that they separate again. Also, I have seen references to far lower biodiesel water solubilities than the 1200 ppm reported by Camillo (e.g. 7 ppm). As for the

Hi David Are you sure about this, Keith? Yes - 10% of 95%, it mixed easily and it's stayed mixed for weeks. I haven't tried a bigger ratio or a lower proof. I started with the ACREVO study I referred to previously, which had 9% of 95%. I wonder where the cut-off is? It might vary a bit,

FERMENTING REBELLION One fine morning just over a year ago, residents of St. Paul, Minn., woke up choking on the air they breathe. What had happened? A friendly neighborhood brewery had been converted into an ethanol plant -- without any studies to determine the potential environmental impacts

The rancid fumes were not those of fermenting corn; they had always been fermenting at that facility. The fumes were from the drying of the stillage. By the way, I think they mean the first and only urban ethanol plant. Keith Addison [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/24/2002 01:36 PM Please respond

Murdoch, The way the rules are written, your firm could produce virtually the cleanest biodiesel of all producers in the world, exceeding ASTM standards by a country mile, but you'd still have to either be an NBB member, pay the high bond and volume production tax for access to Health Affects
