Vaklin, White country is a country like USA, Canada, EU etc. where citizens behavior is adequate and salary is adequate too. In these countries is normal to use more environment suitable components and take care about waste products. In another countries called countries from third world

Vaklin This just gets more and more irrational. A couple of comments and I'll leave you to it. snip I have wrote approximately. Exactly the value is as you said. If all you have is an approximate value for such a thing then find an accurate value before you post it, otherwise you're just

I would...consider NaOH flakes over beads, usually cheaper...and dbl check that 90% pure KoH is good enough.I'm a fan of the NaOH method because it leaves you with a byproduct that can be used in waste fuel furnaces. ___ Biofuel mailing list

Hi! Difference is only in total cost of the product. I'll try to save every cent because the price of biodiesel produced here is very close to bulk price of dynodiesel. I mean biodiesel produced from fresh not refined vegetable oils. So, my decision is NaOH. At 19:06 24.12.05, you wrote:

You've still got to find end uses for your co-/waste-products. Sodium generates an environmental cost. Potassium generates a monetary and environmental savings. You might care to see how much the savings in fertilizer offsets the higher cost of the catalyst before you make a final decision.
