Well not being a chemical engineer. What would change or could change the Gel point of bio-diesel? So is an cracking unit a heat process where layers of different of product are produced? If you can build a small reactor that would use waist products for heat to drive the process? Would

Lee, One would think that a chemical engineer with specific training in the petro-chemical field could clue you in. The first low tech improvement would be to hydrogenate the ester, cracking any double bonds using moderate pressure, elevated temp and sufficient time. Hydrogenation would be
