What is the significance of diesel engine compression ratio in a
cogeneration context? I have heard that with cogeneration, the higher
the compression ratio the better. Can anyone tell me why? Is it because
a higher compression ratio means more heat? And how high is high for

The gasifier gas output could (somehow) be processed
into methanol. Then after combustion was over, the
ash could be turned into lye. If I read previous
posts correctly, it looks like this would be the
way.

You'll want to make sure that the oil has been degummed (lecithin

most of the distributors of fryer oils to restaurants are
clueless as to whether or not the oil is degummed. The stuff is
