Hi Keith; See my answers below. Keith Addison wrote: Well, settling time is free. Acid-base aside, there's the two-stage base-base process, which quite a lot of people use and like, but otherwise why do more than one stage? Do you mean two separate stages, with a methanol test in

Joe, I took a sample from my latest batch of BD destined for my boiler (failed QT; but very little residue dropped out). It had settled for almost 10 hrs. That was yesterday morning. Today there is a small, but noticable, bit of glycerine on the bottom. More settled out after the

Tom; It makes sense. Glycerin is an emulsifier. Have you ever tried dosing the batch again with a little methoxide? After you remove the glycerin it doesn't take much to get the last bit of the reaction to go and settle out the remaining glycerin. Of course this is well known already.
