Hi Keith, You cannot substitute 60 degrees C in a couple of weeks with 121 degrees in 30 minutes. You need such a high temperature to stop the fungus from reproducing and denature(destroy) the enzymes responsible for converting straw to glucose. By composting, you are creating culture medium for

Pieter, You might be using too much Sodium Hydroxide. That would explain why the sample became very hot when you added Phosphoric Acid. Acid-base neutralization is exothermic. That would also explain why you are not seeing a clear separation of FFA. It is because the phosphoric acid that is

Hello Terry, I am also new to the group. I have no idea how much those salts cost. If they will cost less than the energy needed to dry used oil, I guess that's an idea worth trying. Do you have any information regarding their disposal? or, will they just be reheated to remove the water?
