Jan,
Sorry for the late reply. Did not see your question at the bottom before.
Since we produce biodiesel from different oil sources, these differences
could give different properties. Like coconut has better wintering
properties. Our vegetable oil here is mainly from coconut so thats it. If

I have the contact data of the batch technology provider and several producers
of the equipment.
The batch installation is for producing methyl esters from rapeseed oil.

I do not know their hourly capacity.

Let me spell it out.
Transesterification can be carried out on fish oil, the same as vegetable
oil or animal fats.
However, because of enormous long molecular chains, the result is a
polymerised goo.
It is not a pretty sight.
It is not an easy mess to clear out, as it sets semi-hard.

With all the commercial fisheries (and fishermen) going tits up, I
don't know if you can really consider fish oil renewable. I'd be amazed
if it stayed cheap for long, since there are strong indications that
