You are refering to the single stage right ? Not the acid base. When starting out it is higkly recommended to start with the single stage methode before attacking the two stage acid base method. I am going into my second year (my completed reactor came on line last August) and I am swtill going with the sigle stage and using NaOH as a catalyst. Others have gone on quicker so It is up to you, however a good solid understanding of the single satge method is paramount in getting the basic troubleshooting down before moving to the acid base method. Check it out: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make2.html#whystart >I used to take Chem in high school and have contacted my old teacher. Chem teacher eh? Get him/her involved. Use words like "esterification" and "methyl esters", "NaOH", "KOH" ect. Bait the hook. The more the merrier (some even marry her,ha!) and being a chem teacher with all the hub bub that the various govt's are making now about "asving a to" of emissions ect this could be viewed as a teaching project; "making eco-friendly fuel". Teachers can't resist that stuff. You got to sell it a bit though :-). Shouldn't be too hard a sell, BC seems to be eco-minded. Have fun, and good fueling. >I will keep my lye dry.
