Hello All,
I would like to use
the Free Fatty Acids (FFAs) split from the glycerine cocktail, along with
BD, to heat my house + provide domestic hot water.
My burner runs nicely on
100% BD, but when I attempted to add some of the FFAs (5 - 7% by volume), I got
coking on the electrodes in the burner. I suspect that there may have been some
glycerine in the FFA.
I have about 50 gallons of
FFA. I also have two questions:
1. Has anyone mixed FFAs with their
heating fuel?
2. I'm thinking about separating
glycerine contamination from the FFA by washing it with water. The glycerine
seems to dissolve nicely while the FFAs float.
Washed/dried
maybe no coking? Anyone tried this?
As always, comments/suggestions
appreciated.
Tom
