[biofuel] Washing with circulating pump

2004-06-29 Thread steven mesibov
Just doing my long range planning and wanted to understand washing a bit better. If the conversion process is complete (acid/base etc.) would it be possible to safely perform the washing more rapidly than mist or bubble methods by using a circulating pump with more agitation? Thanks! Steve

Hello. I am just starting in the production of my own biodiesel. I have made several 1 liter test batches, but I'm not sure how to wash them. I can't find anything online particular to small batches, but I have found sources that say bubblewashing will be too violent and cause emulsification.
