Hello All,
Having just subscribed to these groups ([biofuel] & [biofuels-biz]) thought
it a good idea to introduce myself and with some regret air a few negatives.
On a personal level I am based in Manchester UK and would welcome anyone
here in the UK to make contact - I get the feeling that most members are
USA based - partly envious of the better grounding and commitment across
the pond. I'm ambitious enough to think there's a business opportunity
despite the Draconian tax levels here.
I'd appreciate your opinions and ask if any of you have had problems or
accidents handling methanol and what safety factors have been incorporated.
I have in built preference for ethanol as its not fossil derived and
shouldn't kill me (depending if its drinkable!!!)
Second query is if anyone has had experience of deterioration in their
finished product - ie; from what I understand there is a finite shelf life
to methyl and ethyl esters depending on contaminant levels etc; though I
guess most small scale production will be for use immediately with little
storage.
Thirdly, and thanks for your patience - I nosed around and noted an
interesting article on accelerated transesterification using micro wave
energy, this struck an eureka chord so wondered if work in this area had
been tried and if so what level of success had been achieved.
Hope I've not annoyed anyone though flames wont touch the asbestos
underwear - damned itchy stuff.
regards,
Adrian.
