I believe there are commercial plants you can purchase that will produce that volume (not sure though but I contacted Pacific Biodiesel in Hawaii a couple of years ago and they did send me some information about this http://www.biodiesel.com/ )

Hi,
I would like to know if there is anyone who can help me with information on a complete bio diesel processing plan capable of producing 1,000 gallons a day. I intend to use thousand gallon stainless steel tanks. I intend to take the first thousand gallon stainless steel tank, install some type of heating elements where I can then take the raw material (used cooking oil), heat it up and pump it through a filterisation system into a second thousand gallon stainless steel tank. I will then take the proper amounts of methanol and powdered lye and blend this mixture back and forth from the second thousand gallon tank into a third thousand gallon tank. Does this system sound practical? If so, where can I learn more and possibly purchase the filterisation system, the pumping system, and the heating elements for my first thousand gallon tank or where I would be able to purchase such a tank? I have studied a few formulas on the internet and I would like to know your opinion on the following one: {you take 800 gallons of already filtered used cooking oil, add 200 gallons of methanol and 40lbs. of industrial or technical grade lye, blend this for 24hrs, therefore producing a bio diesel that would pass the ASTM U.S fuel test} If this formula is not accurate, where can I obtain a more accurate one that would pass the ASTM test?
Thank you very much for your time and your patience. I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
David Lee
